Congratulations on
being called to serve as a co- trainer to Elder Nathan Andrew Miner in the Arkansas Little Rock
Mission. As you know, the calling of trainer
is in many ways the most important and essential a missionary can receive. You are helping to establish the foundation
upon which Elder Miner’s service in the Arkansas Little Rock Mission will rest
as well as his continued service in Taiwan. I encourage you to make your
experiences with your new companion both fulfilling and joyful. Because of his special circumstances, you
will need to use great patience and love.
As a trainer, you are
expected to pay particular attention to the following areas:
• Obey
mission rules with exactness. Show Elder Miner what is expected. Follow the daily schedule
diligently and help him understand and apply the material in The First 12 Weeks for New Missionaries
and Trainers. Review the Missionary Handbook and Arkansas Little Rock Mission Arrival Binder
frequently.

• Help
Elder Miner acquire basic missionary
skills through your example. Focus your
studies on the
Book of Mormon, other scriptures, and the lessons found in Preach My Gospel, especially the lessons in
Chapter 3. Have companionship study every day for 2 hours, except preparation day and weekly

• Prayerfully
work together in planning outlines of the discussions you will teach your
investigators.
Work together to teach by the Spirit. “Role play” with Elder Miner and practice being in teaching
situations with your investigators. Evaluate what was done well and what can be improved. Avoid
criticism and seek to lift and motivate.

• Use the weekly companion planning meeting to
help Elder Miner set goals and evaluate progress.
• Make certain Elder Miner participates fully
as a contributing member of the companionship.
Most importantly, in all of
your dealings with Elder Miner, remember the counsel found in the Doctrine and
Covenants 121:39-46. Always lead, live
and love like Jesus Christ. May the
Lord’s choicest blessings be yours as you faithfully fulfill this important
calling.
Yours truly,
Taniela Wakolo,
Mission President
