Thirty Day-in Training



The following was published on Sis O'Bryant's Cop-Den Mission blog, along with additional pictures: Thirty day in the land was Tues Sept 26- Thurs Sept 28th, with transfers on Mon Oct 2, 2017.

-The "thirty day in" the land meeting is to train these new missionaries and their companions on the most recent and effective trainings over the past year from Zone Conference.  There were 27 of us here.  The sisters had to spend the night with nearby sisters.  It was truly a full house!  
President and Sister O'Bryant and the assistants train on :  1) How to become a Preach My Gospel missionary 2) How to use time wisely 3) Faith to find 4) Cultural "No" 5) Boldness without overbearance 6) Becoming the message 7) Repentance 8) How to love your mission,  and more.  
It's a wonderful reminder for the trainers and very effective for the newer missionaries.
- Role Playing is extremely effective 
-After training, they change into their casual clothes and either, relax, play ping pong or basketball.  Oh, and of course, have snacks:)   
-The next morning comes early with traditional breakfast burritos.  
Can there ever be enough food for hungry disciples?  Thankfully, yes, usually ;D
-After more training, we travel to a nearby McDonalds.  
They expect us every 6 weeks and spoil us.  
-Back to more training...and snacks  until it's time for dinner.  
Today they chose chicken enchiladas, homemade refried beans, Mexican rice, chips and peach cobbler for dessert. 
-Here we are again for a traditional breakfast of baked french toast.  After all this eating, we pack up the leftovers and divide it up for those who want it. 
-After a few hours of training, we meet the "My Plan" group at the temple.  
Unfortunately, not all were in time for the picture, but they made it to the session.
- MTC group reunited!
-After the temple, we met in Copenhagen at the Fredriksberg building.  We have a traditional Dominos Pizza lunch with the "My Plan" group which consist of the most senior of our missionaries.  They share wise council on what the mission has taught them personally.  It is a wonderful sharing of experience and testimony.
