I mentioned last week that there were some things Robbie and I wanted you to do before our sessions begin. As BC's there may be some opportunities for you to teach the youth in place of a counselor who may be ill or having trouble. Just as we instruct our counselors, the best lessons are those that are 1. taught by the spirit, and 2. planned previously. As we were counselors we know that having a plan before teaching made the lesson go smoothly and gave way for more inspiration in teaching the youth. While I hope that all of counselors this summer will be well-equipped and able to teach every lesson themselves, this is not always possible, and we want you to be prepared! For the next two weeks, please go over the counselor devotionals. Just as previous years, the devotionals are taken from Preach My Gospel. We do not expect you to have an entire lesson prepared, but to have a simple outline, or bullets with scriptures and things you could use if need be. This will also be very useful when instructing your counselors to better teach the youth. This years counselor devotional topics are:
Monday: The Restoration
Tuesday: The Plan of Salvation
Wednesday: The Commandments
Thursday: The Gospel of Jesus Christ
Over the next two weeks take a few minutes to ponder and think about how you would teach the youth these topics. I will be doing the same. Please either email me or Robbie or post your ideas to our team Blog by next Friday, May 28th. It's so important for us all to be prepared before we begin.
