Just to report to all the families and loved-ones of your great missionaries serving here in the Chile Santiago North Mission. They are amazing in their obedience and desire to serve the Lord. The Missionary Dept in SLC has sent all Presidents of missions all over the world a new, simplified curriculum to help us become better teachers of Preach My Gospel, including doctrine, principles, and application. The following are the 8 lessons we have been instructed to teach. We started out exactly as the brethren requested, first teaching our leaders (Assistants, zone leaders, district leaders and trainers)Now we have set the course and announced the exact dates for the month of August to continue to teach ALL of our anxious missionaries who want to learn how to be better. Here are the 8 lessons:
-----------------
1. Doctrine of Christ-your missionary purpose
2. The role of the Holy Ghost in Conversion
3. Revelation through Prayer
4. Revelation through the Book of Mormon
5. Revelation through church attendance.
6. Teach people, not lessons.
7. We invite, they commit, we follow up.
8. How to begin teaching.
These changes will also include interviews now happening trimestral and zone conferencias the same. The missionaries are eager and willing to adapt, change and become better. We love these great Elders and Hermanas

My son is on his way to Chile Santiago North mission today! What a comfort it is to come to this blog and feel the sweet spirit here! These 8 lessons sound TERRIFIC! I love this church and gospel soooo much, but I will admit it is not easy to send my son so far away for the next 22 months! I am excited for the growth he will experience, though! President May and his helpers are in my prayers as they meet the new missionaries coming down and figure out where to send them on their first assignments. God bless you! Thank you sooo much for this blog! Sister Annette Wilkes
