President Brubaker was very inspiring today in our Leadership Council Meeting. He shared the story with the missionaries about Willem Berentsz, who had a vision and dared to go where no man has gone. He was a Dutch cartographer, and explorer from the 1500's. He went into uncharted waters in search of the northeast passage above Siberia. His passion and vision drove him to new discoveries, and repeated attempts to reach his goal. His accomplishments stood unrivaled for over 300 years, when modern icebreaking ships, with new technology allowed the complete fullfillment of his dream.
"We too, as missionaries can go where no man has dared to go before. "
What would happen in our mission if every missionary could have that kind of passion and vision? If we consecrated our mission instead of just consecrating hours.
What would happen if we could dare do go where no man has gone before?
i. What if we use a teaching calendar in every appointment?
b. You set the culture of our mission. You are what will help our mission to forge new territory.

A. What is the purpose of a teaching calendar?
1. Gives our investigators something to shoot for
2. Lays out a plan for their conversion to the church
3. Helps them see our vision of them
4. Helps them develop confidence in their date
5. Changes the teaching atmosphere--puts you on the same page.
