Mission Conference 2-7-10

Thoughts on working with others

  • 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)
  1. Prepare investigators for baptismal interview, at least 1 week before
  2. Set a date for the baptism
  3. Invite family and friends to the baptism
  4. Make appointments for baptism, confirmation
  5. 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.
