A really good week and the Zone Leader Training that we had was amazing. I am inspired to share you what the spirit has taught me through it.
Q:Why do you study effectively and prepare to teach?
A:So you can “answer your investigators’ questions and concerns.” As you study for the sole purpose of helping others to come unto Christ- everything else will be added upon. You must keep your studies within the teachings found in the Preach My Gospel. Do not teach beyond the basic principles and doctrines of the gospel. We do not study for ourselves. WE STUDY FOR OTHERS, not to increase our own wisdom. This is why we are here, we are not here for Elder "_____" or Sister "_____" to have the most knowledge in the mission, but we are here for all our brothers and sisters. So what we have to do is do it for them! Don't teach it so they can just understand, Teach it so they CANNOT misunderstand! Boldness is how we show our Love!
Q:How do we apply what we study?
A: Simple ELDER in companionship study EVERY DAY
E.xplain
D.emonstrate
P.ractice
E.valuate
R.e-practice
Sometimes it is awkward but this is how we improve!
For some personal thought....
Q:What kind of a missionary do you want to be?
Q:What are your expectations as a missionary?
Q:Why should we do this?
A: Joseph Smith taught "A religion that does not require the sacrifice of all things, never has power sufficient to produce the faith necessary unto life and salvation."
It is not easy.. It never was for Jesus Christ so it never will be for us. It requires some work and yes we will fail and fall but those are the times that we learn and build off our mistakes. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a missionary church. The work never stops it only moves forwards!
I love you all and honestly pray for the best for you all every day! Wish the best for you all and love hearing from you all!
Love Elder Johnson.
