- Be a part of the solution, not the problem
- We need to have a vision of the future with faith
- Faith is always pointed to the future
Planning a Baptism (Sister Clegg? Cregg? :p)
- Prepare investigators for baptismal interview, at least 1 week before
- Set a date for the baptism
- Invite family and friends to the baptism
- Make appointments for baptism, confirmation
- Make appointment with the mission president
Other thoughts by President Clegg
- Be about the business -> Go to work
- Story of starting his mission and playing basketball with senior companion and Mexicans. Moral is "Don't be beating on the Mexicans, work at what we were called to do!"
- Help investigators see themselves as members of the church
- Teach lessons -> get to the point and teach it clearly
- Being humble and faithful leads to baptisms
- Become fluent in the language of the Spirit
- Review blessings for obedience in Preach My Gospel, p 122
- Serving and sustaining our companion helps us to build love in our hearts.
- Fulfilling our purpose will help the Lord fulfill His purpose.
