Preach My Gospel 

Chapter 5 pg. 107

Other questions may focus on more temporal needs: How can I improve my relationship with my spouse? How can I help my teenagers avoid drugs or immorality? How can I find work to support my family?

The gospel of Jesus Christ helps us answer both kinds of questions. As we gain faith that the Book of Mormon is true, we can begin to answer questions about the purpose of life and the hope of eternal life. The Book of Mormon describes the plan of happiness, which gives meaning and perspective to life. Answers to questions such as the following are clearly taught int he Book of Mormon. 

In this chapter it also says- the Book Of Mormon is the keystone of our religion. ANOTHER important thing that Preach My Gospel says is that, the Book Of Mormon is the keystone of our DOCTRINE.

District Meetings and Zone Conferences

Practice using the Book Of Mormon in each of the ways mentioned in the main headings of this chapter 

• The Book of Mormon Is the Keystone of Our Religion
• The Book of Mormon Testifies of Christ
• The Book of Mormon and the Bible Support Each Other
• The Book of Mormon Answers Questions of the Soul
• The Book of Mormon Draws People Nearer to God
• Use the Book of Mormon to Respond to Objections
• How Should you Use the Book of Mormon

*Each one is a progressive experience

Practice: 

Progressive Book of Mormon Reads 1-4

Explain 2 minutes, Practice 13 minutes

Allow missionaries to learn by doing and not by hearing you talk

Things to consider:

1. Does the missionary know why you’re doing this BoM read? Do they see that this practice is necessary to get them to the point of being Awesome Facilitators?
2. Did your application lead them to the ultimate objective in this BoM read?
3. Has it been a progressive experience for you as a missionary thus far?
4. How can you prepare them before this shift happens so your explain portion is short and they are prepared with material to practice?
5. As a teacher, were you a “coach” in this experience? How could you have HELPED your missionaries more?

What are you learning as you evaluate using these questions?

(Class Insight)

• We should help our missionaries expect to be facilitating
• Giving them a birds eye view on the 1st BOM is good but may not be enough, sometimes it takes more than just once
• Help them to see how to facilitate their own types of learning, what questions did you ask yourself, ask that to your investigators
