Discuss what you do to motivate your missionaries to learn.

Study:

Elder Bednar calls the Holy Ghost the Fueler of learning. We have to be able to understand what spirit is influencing the missionaries to learn or not learn.

Go to pg 59 (E. Bednar’s book)

as we integrate the teachings…

What are the 4 major ways that the gift of decrement operates?

Talk about these 4 principles as they relate to your classroom. 

What are conclusions/ questions that you have about this. 

pg 41

The Liahonna as a type an shadow for our day….

Read:

Moroni 7- think of it as how Moroni is talking to the best of the best

While reading think of the following questions: What needs to change in my moral character in order for me to discern when true learning is happening or not happening?

What are personal conclusions you came to and group conclusions?

Scriptures that stood out to you that will change the way you live or help your learners?

Throughout my day I want to constantly ask myself the question why am I doing what I’m doing

Charity is closely connected to the gift of discernment

Charity is a motivating source in our life, but our charity needs to be turned toward God

Learning is divine, we need to be able to see with divine eyes to discern

Separate people from their behavior and learn to love them. People are not their behavior. 

Invitation:

What 3 things do I need to stop or start seeing, hearing, thinking, or doing that will purify me to see my learners more clearly?

(Class Insight)

Going against the system. Abandoning decades of habit.

Dead Poet’s society clips… go look those up yourselves :)
