Sisters Isaksen, Tamara, Hoffman and Chen.
For Relief Society today Sisters
Gearheart and Mathias sang ‘’A Child’s Prayer’’ for our opening song. Sister Mathias
sang her part in German.
Our AP’s, Sisters Jin and Bomgren and also
Sisters Arrieto and Hirro gave us training on how to more effectively use
‘’Meet the Mormons’’ in our proselyting efforts. We discussed 1) how to introduce the movie
more effectively, 2) Discussed Teaching ideas and 3) Invitation ideas. It was pointed out by Sister Jin that
missionaries are the way Heavenly Father makes appointments with his children
so we want to be effective in our work with His children.
After their presentation we had
mission wide Fleet training which comes every third transfer and is done by
Elder and Sister Bradshaw and our Fleet sisters: Sisters Haight and Huang.
Right after this meeting we had a
condensed version of Elder Clarkes presentation on the use of
ipads in our mission. Today's training was for
sisters who were outbound when the presentation was given by Elder Clarke and
also for new sisters from the MTC this last transfer. Elder Bradshaw did Guideline Training for the
use of ipads as a tool for missionaries in their proselyting efforts and
President Loos used the Missionary Handbook to emphasize the importance of
obeying rules concerning the use of the ipads as a mission tool. President Poulsen concluded the training by
emphasizing that we need to be the master and not a slave to our ipads or for
that matter, the use of any technology.
When we use technology we should approach it with a purpose in mind for
its use. The training we received today
and with Elder Clarke should be training for a lifetime of use concerning
technology.
The ipad rollout will
address the following: 1) Personal Use 2) Area Book and Planner 3) Social Media.
