Lesson Title: "Learning to Share the Gospel"
OTHER RESOURCES:
OBJECTIVE:
Each young woman will understand her responsibility to share the gospel and gain confidence in doing missionary work.
PREPARATION:
- Provide one candle (a large one would be best) and a small amount of salt.
- Write out the role-playing situations on slips of paper.
- Make a candle from stiff paper for each young woman similar to the following:
3 Nephi 18:24
D&C 123:12
“If not from me, then from whom?” (refer to the lesson link below for the picture)
ATTENTION GETTER:
Use the introduction with the candle found at the beginning of the lesson.
LESSON:
Lesson 21 at lds.org
CONCLUSION:
Point out that often we have a better chance of sharing the gospel with our friends than anyone else will ever have.
We should ask ourselves the question, “If I do not share the gospel with my friends, where, when, and from whom will they hear it?”
Testimony:
You may wish to conclude by bearing your testimony.
Give each young woman a paper candle as a reminder of her responsibility to be a missionary.
MID-WEEK ACTIVITY IDEA:
1. Invite the full-time missionaries to come to class to explain how the young women can help them. Make sure they have permission from their mission president to come.
2. As a class, decide on things you can do to reach out to a less-active member of your class.
3. As a class, write down the questions most frequently asked by nonmembers, and assign each young woman to write some good answers and share them in a future class.
4. Plan an activity and invite several nonmember young women.
5. Invite several people to class who can discuss their conversions to the Church. They may want to give some ideas about how to approach nonmembers.
