These great zone leaders had prepared a lesson to include a creative example
of how we advance our investigators
This baseball field represents our mission.
The team is the zone here in Guzman.
Home base represents the references we get as missionaries.
1st base- commitments or invitations we make
2nd- baptism and confirmation
3rd- Gordon B. Hinckley's counsel that every member needs a calling,
a friend and to be nurtured by the good word of God.
Home plate represents Temple covenants
ok...we found this cricket outside and poor thing, we all had to take a turn
holding him. I'm sure he was completely traumatized.
One thing I am focusing on during my interviews,
is setting goals with all Spanish speaking
(as their first language)
missionaries to help them learn English
and continue with their language study program.
First I look at their English workbook to ensure they
are each consistently making progress.
Then we focusing on setting 5 new goals:
1) to say a simple prayer out loud in English each morning
2) committing ask questions to English speaking missionaries
ZL, DL, STL, and others for pronunciation, meaning, and use
3) to read from the Book of Mormon aloud in English each day
(each missionaries set a personal goal for the amount they would read)
4) to practice learning their colors -
I suggested a simple game they could play
as they are out and about each day.
5) to learn one new word in English each day
The Guzman zone. They were not all together
for their interviews, so I wasn't able to take their
pictures by districts, but here they are today after
our Guzman District Conference.
