| Our baptism on the 11th |
I forgot to report on when we went to the Texas community collage and taught at the
world religions class. It went great! There was about 40 students in the class
and was a little bit intimidating. We taught/preached about the restoration and
how it effects all of us today. Then after that opened up to the Q&A
session. That is when it got fun. I didn't know what kind of questions we were
going to be asked and that's what really made me nerves. But has they started
to ask I realized that they were simple little question and weren't really
doctrinal stuff. The students were probably in the class because they had to
take it or thought it was going to be an easy class. The teacher asked a couple
of questions to try and get the students to ask deeper questions but it didn't
go anywhere. It was a really good experience though and hopeful when in the
future they will talk to missionaries.
The President Robbins training was great and what I needed.
I feel like that's what the mission and this Zone needs. We need to give them
opportunity to act for themselves and need to see that they are responsible on
what ever the outcome may be. He told a story of two workers that were costing
the a company millions of dollars from their shipping and
packaging mistakes. President Robbins Came in and gave them
an insensitive. For everything they packaged and shipped was 1 dollar
(which would be about 250 copies every job) but they would get 200
dollar bonus for making no mistakes, but if they made one mistake
they would lose 100 dollars from their bonus and if they made another
they would lose the bonus completely. The workers then started to
complain about some of the mistake they can control like Shipping
time, improper packing through another company and so forth. He then
said It is 100% your responsibility and 100% your control. They
then started to work more diligently to make sure
that mistake doesn't happen. He then said that
company hasn't had mistake since. It was a great story and helped me
see that if we work diligently and we will be in control and
have 100% responsibility. The only problem I am facing is what
is going to make the mission be motivated to the like the story he told
about the two workers and the pay they can earn. I thought that was great. The
mission i feel like isn't responsible because they don't see the outcome of
things good or bad. They don't feel the responsibility and the control because
they aren't accountable. Take for instance a job. People do good on the jobs
because they want a raise or promotion and if they fail they get fired. You
cant be fired as a missionary and therefore they don't see the consequences.
During that training I Feel the importance of what we fought for in the
pre-existence and because that we have 100% of our agency and because of that
we are 100% responsible for our actions. It was great! He then asked us why do
we want 100% of agency but not 100% responsibility?
