Sharing time- I Can Be a Missionary Now! I Can Share the Gospel with my Family and Friends ****Have the missionaries assist with the beginning part of the lesson. Have the missionaries knock on the door. Sister Pergler opens it. Missionaries- We are representatives of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and would like to share a special message with you The missionaries are invited to come in and teach a little discussion about missionary work. 1) Remind what a missionary does daily and their experience as a missionary(last week's lesson). 2) One companion read Matthew 28:1920 teaching their scripture to the investigators(Can use pictures of the World, Baptism, First Vision(Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ). 3) Other companion review Doctrine and Covenants 133:37 and remind that missionaries are one way that the gospel can be shared in distant lands. The Prophet David O. McKay taught us that Every member can be a missionary and that even means YOU! Have a missionary bear testimony of the first vision (only about 5 minutes for this discussion)

ScripturesCompanion #1-Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of theFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Companion #2-D&C 133: 37 And this gospel shall be preached unto every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people.

Sister Perglers part- So what opportunities do we have that we can share the gospel with those around us and be like these missionaries? Maybe we already have experiences with being a missionary to someone. Elder Quentin L. Cook, an apostle of the Lord shares a challenge- My specific challenge to each of you is to make a commitment to be a missionary for the rest of your life. He suggests three ways to help us be missionaries now. 1) Overcome feelings that make you afraid to share the gospel. 2) Do not be discouraged. 3) Be a good example and take every opportunity to share the gospel (ON FRIEND POSTER, April 2010. or pg. 11 ofhttp://lds.org/churchmagazines/FR_2010_04_00___09264_000_000.pdf http://lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp? hideNav=1&locale=0&sourceId=e7fcf0a83a097210VgnVCM100000176f620a____&vgnextoid=21bc9fbee 98db010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD So I have doors that have opportunities on the back of them or ways that we can be a missionary and teach the gospel just like our visitors that came to see us. When called, knock on a door and we will open the door to the opportunity. Then we can figure out a way to be a missionary or tell of a time when you were a missionary in a similar way.

Construction paper doors covering various pictures(Have the children knock on the door (could have all the children knock on their chairs) and then reveal the picture) Door #1- (picture of girl in wheelchair.)

Song: Ill Walk with you Door #2- (picture of family) p. 4 of http://lds.org/churchmagazines/FR_2008_11_00___02271_000_000.pdf How can we share the gospel in our own families? Or when we visit a family member that may not belong to the church? Is there a time when you shared the truth with someone in your family? Song I Love to See the Temple, verse 2, CS 95) Door #3- (picture of Cub Scouts) Friend, May 2008 p. 29http://res.ldschurch.ch/magazines/thefriend/en/2008/thefriend_2008-05.pdf How can we share the gospel at church activities? Maybe at Scouts, achievement day girls, or ward activities, etc. Song: Our Door is Always Open CS 254 Door #4- (picture of someone angry at someone else) How can we be missionaries with someone that may not like us or doesnt seem to want to be our friend? Have you been Christlike to someone that just didnt seem to get along with you? Door #5- (picture of school bus) or p. 45 of http://lds.org/churchmagazines/FR_2008_02_00___02262_000_000.pdf How can share the gospel at school? With someone that is new there? Have you ever told anyone about the church to someone at school?

Door #6- (picture of smoking) boys with cigarette- Friend, April 2010 p. 28 or http://www.ldsclipart.com/ under choose the right section How can you share the gospel when one of your standards is being tested? Like smoking, listening to bad music, watching an inappropriate show, clothing, etc.? Song: (The Lord Gave me a Temple", CS, 153)

Door #7- (picture of Service) Friend, August 2010 p. 16.http://res.ldschurch.ch/magazines/thefriend/en/2010/thefriend_2010-08.pdf How can serving others help be a missionary? How does mormon helping hands (our group that goes out and rebuilds homes after a hurricane or other disaster) help bring the gospel to many lands? Door #8- (picture of girl praying at a closed door) http://res.ldschurch.ch/magazines/thefriend/en/2010/thefriend_2010-08.pdf Seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. We can pray for those that we would like to be a missionary with. Have you ever prayed for someone to accept a church invite or the gospel? Song:( Praise to the Man, Hymns, no.27)

Door #9-(picture of Book of Mormon) Sharing the Book of Mormon is a wonderful way to be a missionary. Sharing stories, scriptures can help be a missionary. Has anyone ever had an experience with giving a Book of Mormon to someone or just has a special feeling about the precious book? Song: ("Scripture Power") Door #10- (picture of Jesus Christ) When we act like Jesus, we are sharing the gospel sometimes without even knowing we are doing it. When was a time when you were a good example? Has anyone ever told someone about Joseph Smith and the first vision? (show picture of first vision) How did you feel hearing the testimony of the missionary of that sacred event? Inspire you to want to share your testimony? Song: ("If I Listen with My Heart", p. 28 of 2011 Sharing Time outline) I hope you will accept Elder Cook's challenge and will be a missionary for the rest of your life. I say these things, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
