MTC Day 3 May 2, 2012


MTC May 2, 2012

Aloha O’hana!
Near the end of another day at the MTC! Today was ‘all-you-can-eat’ BYU Creamery ice cream in the cafeteria!! Reece’s Peanut Butter cup ice cream for lunch and Raspberry Cream Cheese for dinner…we have got to get out of here!

The ice cream wasn’t the highlight of the day, so I guess we will stay for a while.  Today was our first practice session of teaching an ‘investigator’ couple about "The Restoration.” We started with the BRT (Build Relationship of Trust) questions to get to know them and their background better so we would know how to approach teaching them.  Mom started with her topic of the Restoration of the Gospel, when the husband asked “Why are you called Mormons?”
About 40 minutes later, we had covered the first vision, Christ in the Americas, revelation, the Book of Mormon, the Bible, the Brass Plates, Prophets, Joseph Smith and a number of other principles. I guess it went well because they committed to read some selected portions of the Book of Mormon and invited us to come back next week.  Don’t know if we were that good of missionaries or they were just being nice to us but it was a good experience! So much for a carefully prepared mission plan!

Tomorrow, we will again teach an ‘investigator’ as a follow-up to an earlier commitment by previous missionaries and to teach The Plan of Salvation. Almost time to work on our ‘plan’ so we will be ready tomorrow. As always, your prayers are appreciated!
