Dear Elder Gutierrez
You are hereby called to serve as a Trainer for a newly
arriving missionary. You should know that this call is a sacred trust from the
Lord, and from me. A missionary’s first companion has a profound, lasting influence
on the development of the missionary’s attitude and habits.
As part of this assignment, I ask that you:
·
Commit yourself to set the highest example of
obedience and effective proselyting, and to do all that you can to help your
companion begin his or her mission positively.
·
Help your companion adapt to missionary life by
following the daily schedule diligently, reading daily from the Missionary
Handbook, and obeying all the mission rules. Remember to be sensitive to the
adjustment your companion is making, and provide help and encouragement in a
kind and loving way.
·
Hold companion study daily to help your companion
develop and improve basic missionary skills.
·
Hold effective daily and weekly planning sessions, to
help your companion learn how to plan to help investigators progress toward
conversion.
·
Make sure your companion participates fully in all
aspects of the work. Help your companion gain experience in every part of the
Missionary Purpose.
Your District Leader will help you as you learn to fulfill
these responsibilities. Remember that your most effective teaching is done
through example.
I congratulate you on this sacred calling.
With Love,
President A. Todd Miller
Massachusetts
Boston Mission
