I will write more next week about them because we have to go because our meeting was today on p day! So we aready have to go back to the area. But he talked about one big thing that they as the missionary department are trying to change.
SIMPLIFY, INTENSIFY AND TESTIFY. He says those are the keys. We are really just complicating things out in the field and we gotta change that! It was really great! We did practices of how to simplify and one comp could only use one short sentance from preach my gospel to introduce the principle, then the other comp tells a very short and quick personal experience that backs up the principle and then testifies of it. Then it goes back to the first and he/she could only read one little part of one verse of scripture and wasnt allowed to try to interprety or explain any of it to them, you just had to immediatley testify of the truth of the scripture to the person.
The point was to let the spirit be the teacher. Use less words and take yourself out of the picture so that the Holy Ghost could be the main part of the act. And as a weak human I am horrible with that! I think i can teach more than the spirit but that is a lie! The Holy Ghost is a God! He knows everything! So he definitely knows the people I teach a lot better than I do and will teach there spirits that are confined to these mortal bodies and have passed through this veil forgetfulness. There was a lot of other stuff that he talked about as well that was really just great but I am totally out of time!
Anyways simplifying is the key! I love and miss you all so much and hope you are doing great! Have a great week!
