Lesson 19

Lesson Title: "Preparing To Teach Others"

OTHER RESOURCES:

• Resource Guide for Young Women Manual 2 at lds.org.

OBJECTIVE:

Each young woman will prepare herself to share the gospel with others.

PREPARATION:

1. Optional: Assign pairs of young women to present the role-play situations at the beginning of the lesson.
2. If it is available in your area, show "Missionary Work: Our Greatest Duty," from Family Home Evening Video Supplement 2 (53277).
3. Assign young women to present any scriptures, stories, or quotations you wish.

ATTENTION GETTER:

Role playing Choose two or three of the following statements (or others if you prefer) to begin discussions the young women might have about the gospel. In each case, one young woman is to act as the nonmember who asks the question, and another young woman is to act as the member who responds. The assigned young women should take no more than a minute or two for each conversation. Ask the class to comment on each situation.

1. "I find it hard to believe the Joseph Smith story. How can you believe it?"
2. "How is temple marriage different from any other marriage?"
3. "What do you mean when you say that your church is the only true church?"
4. "What's so bad about a cup of coffee or a cigarette?"
5. "What difference does it make if you shop on Sunday?"

At the conclusion of the role-play activity, point out that these typical situations demonstrate the need for all of us to be prepared with knowledge, skills, and testimony.
