whitney whitney saturday august 22 2015 mini mission activity earlier this year we had an awesome missionary youth conference for anyone looking for a fun thing to do with your youth this is what we did we got the idea from http courtneyaitken blogspot com 2013 04 mutual activity ideacalled to serve html and http goforwardwithfaith blogspot com 2011 03 march of missionaries html the purpose of the activity was to help the youth feel the spirit and prepare them to share the gospel in the future now we challenged the young men and young women to think about how they could prepare to be missionaries throughout the activity friday arrival 5 pm receive missionary badge get assigned a companion we used these three continents to split the youth into districts once a young men or young women had opened their call they would go to a designated spot for their district all of the missionary tags had a dot on the back in a color representing their district once they had found their district they found the person who had a matching call the person who had the same call became their companion for the weekend pictures by map with companion go to opening devotional welcome and opening devotional we sang the efy medley sisters in zion army of helaman brother darren schmidt spoke about missionary work he s a seminary institute efy speaker dinner 6 30 we then went back to the church for mini missionary workshops divide into 3 districts two young men companionships and two young women companionships in each district for the workshop rotations when they received their mission calls they were called to specific missions with three areas ex european asian spanish those were the 3 districts each districts had 2 adult leaders one who happened to serve full time missions in the respective areas and their spouse they were the ones to run to the language and culture workshops rotations language and culture each group learned about their own specific mission area european asian or spanish depending on which missions their adult leaders served in things discussed and shared included language culture food samples items from areas served money pictures etc why did i go on a mission how did you knew the church was true one story from mission experience testimony we had everyone do this rotation first then we broke into the other classes door approaches the youth were given a brief 3 minute instruction on effective door approches they then had 6 different doors designated throughout the building to knock on little did they know each door provided them with a unique experience golden contact slammed door in a hurry courteous but not interested bible basher and spoke a different language 3 book of mormon we got book of mormons for everyone and had a list of good scriptures to mark before giving it away so they spent this rotations marking the book of mormon 4 questions we got a list of faq on mormon org and put all the questions in a cup then gave each companionship a cup and had them ask answers all the questions we didn t do 5 but i love the idea 5 returned missionaries the importance of the spirit and bearing testimony we had decided that we wanted to have 2 returned missionaries come and speak to the youth about their missionary experiences we wanted to invite a sister and an elder the youth especially the young women loved hearing from a returned sister missionary the sister was a returned missionary from the tucson arizona mission where she taught in spanish she talked about the importance of always having the spirit she explained how the spirit guides missionaries but also how having the spirit now could bless the lives of the youth the young men and young women loved hearing her testimony and were captured by her experiences and faith it was a great way for the youth to recognize how they could prepare for their missions now the youth also loved hearing from a returned elder who served in the paris france mission he talked about having the courage to always bear testimony it was awesome the way he related to the youth he talked about how often we feel scared to share our testimonies with others he shared a few experiences of how he overcame those feelings on his mission and was able to share his testimony and change the lives of others he encouraged the youth to prepare now by sharing their testimonies with others end end with a song and a prayer and go home be back at the church at 7 am for breakfast and other activities saturday 7 30 am meet at the church have the full time

4pm go back to church for service project we talked about the importance of writing missionaries and providing support from home we have several missionaries serving in our ward and created folders for each one we had small note cards for the the young men and young women to write notes to them it was great for the youth to be able to share their testimonies with the missionaries and express their gratitude for their faithful service we also put together care packages with donations from ward members for missionaries serving in the salt lake south mission we also watch missionary parody videos while we wrote the letters 6pm dinner we had ward members sign up to feed the missionaries then assigned each companionship a house to go to they were fed and then left a message with the family 7 15pm come back to church slideshow of leaders parents and siblings serving missions slideshow of pictures from the weekend care packages small package of candy for each youth letters from
