All of our mission leaders and trainers all got into Scott's office for a cram course on 8 simplified lessons that I have explained below. We had 30 of us in there. I think that's about the limit and still make it so you can do role plays which are a big part of the teaching process. As you can see, I am no professional with the panoramic. I gave Elder Son 1 1/2 heads! The second and third takes were clearer as you can see than the first picture. I tried to line up his head with the camera, but alas, not good enough. Luckily he is the only that that is 1 1/2 or 2! But at least youc an get a good idea of the group we had!
We tried to make it fun by offering candy to those who participated in front of the group. Also we threw a rubber strawberry for questions and answers, and role played a story from the Book of Mormon, and used a bell to see who could answer something first. The last day, I had extra candy and was passing it out. Elder Phan got a few extra for which he totally loves.
A group of Vietnamese speaking and Cambodian speaking missionaries relaxing before the afternoon session started. From L-R: Elders Eagan,; Meas, Mae (he was recuperating from an illness and was just visiting), Seang, Ly. Sisters: Robertson, Sok and Tay. Sisters Robertson and Tay are new sisters and working together while their trainer Sister Sok was learning with us.
Elders Da, Phan, Va, Try, Samat and now former missionary turned guard, Mun Horl, visit outside during a lunch break. Notice how Camobidians love to point their hands for a picture. These are all very, very good missionaries and some of our leaders. Mun Horl was one of our Zone Leaders when he served as a missionary.

The Church has asked all current mission presidents to start teaching their missionaries 8 simplified lessons to improve Gospel Teaching among missionaries. These 8 lessons will start in the MTC in May of 2011 and they want all of the current missionaries to be comfortable and using these teaching skills all taken from Preach My Gospel. They wanted us to start teaching our mission leaders first and teach them all the lessons, having two a day. We started on a Tuesday evening with one lesson and ended up on Saturday noon with the last lesson. We had all of our leaders and trainers come in from all over the country. Lucky for us, the furthest ones came about 5 hours on the bus. We all had a great time and learned alot. Scott and I taught all the lessons with help from our Assistants to help us with the Role Plays. They did a great job helping us all get the concepts down. We have these all Leadership trainings every other month and Zone Leader Council every month. Zone conference and Interviews every 3 months and Specialized trainings every month. We are excited about it all and can see improvement already.
