April Journeyman Class

Think about while you read:

What do you think God has sent you to earth to accomplish?  As you study this week, think about the personal missions of the people you read about or read from. 

Read:

• "You Were Born to Lead, You Were Born for Glory" by Sheri Dew. I prefer you print the talk so you can highlight your favorite parts. Even if you read this talk before (I assigned it in Sept. 2012) read it again for new layers of meaning. You're welcome to watch it while you take notes or highlight it, but don't just watch or listen. 
• "Personal Ministry: Sacred and Precious" by Bonnie Parkin. You're welcome to watch it while you take notes or highlight it, but don't just watch or listen.
• Promises of Constitution, pages 288-314. Write a summary at the end of each mini section. 
• Hero study. Study a hero (ideally from the time period of 1500 to 1850). Hand in your hero notes to Sister Edwards or Sister Cloward. Be sure to include the qualities you most admire about your hero, and your plan to become more of those qualities. Also watch for principles or life lessons you learned as you studied this hero.  
• If you'd like to study a modern hero who is living an inspiring personal mission, here is an article about the only Mormon in Mali. Here is a video and here is another article about him. Here is his website.

Watch:

This video. It's about a woman who was living a personal mission of sharing the gospel through her blog and sharing free copies of the Book of Mormon. Then a tragic accident happened. See if her personal mission stopped, or what happened from the tragedy. 


Research:
Spend 30 minutes or more researching something from today’s studies that you want to learn more in depth. It can be from any level – apprentice, journeyman, or master. Record what you learned and why it’s meaningful to you. 


Email:  
Class preparation sheet by Tuesday at noon to Sister Edwards and Sister Cloward.
(Estimated time: 10 minutes)

Create:

• Write a hero report. Hand in your report to Sister Edwards or Sister Cloward.  It won't be graded; we just want to read it. If you'd like to become a better writer, you can write at the top "feedback please." Be sure to include the qualities you most admire about your hero, and your plan to become more of those qualities. Also look for principles or life lessons you learned as you studied this hero.  
• Write an essay about something you learned this week. Hand it in to Sister Edwards or Sister Cloward. 
• Choose a second inspirement from the apprentice class choices. 
• Give us a three minute speech on the main points you learned from either Sheri Dew's or Bonnie Parkin's talk.  Be sure to include an invitation to act. 
• Find a way to teach what you learned from the Promises of the Constitution book. Since this is our last time reading it, you could choose to teach us from this week's readings, or from anything else you liked in the book. 
• Find a way to teach the class what you did your 30 minutes of research about (see teaching ideas).
