President Kyle McKay and Sister Jennifer McKay visited the THSM on May 24-26, 2022. It was an incredible three days packed with powerful training. Each day we gathered 1/3 of the mission while the other 2/3 tuned in via zoom. We loved Sister McKay’s counsel and direct instruction to learn the language of the Spirit and Elder McKay’s powerful command of the Spirit as he taught from the scriptures and from history all without reading anything. President Richards and I also taught each day. We feel energized and excited about all that we learned. Some of the key takeaways were:
**How we "represent" Jesus matters. We "present him again" in the way we groom ourselves, how we dress, how we act and what we say.
**We are helping God with his work. It's "take a child to work day," and we get to be part of it! We get to see that Father's work in action.
**Being disciplined (more of a disciple) is greater than being motivated.
**Every day, be "united" with your companion in "mighty prayer" like the disciples were in 3 Nephi 27:1, fasting from sin by "hungering and thirsting after righteousness" (D&C 59:13)
**Make our message enticing. You make your message enticing, engaging, and interesting by the words you choose and the way you deliver it, like Elder Holland. Say what moves you. Say it with feeling. Practice.
We learned so so much more. This just scratches the surface. At the end of our experience Elder McKay said, "If you've had a spiritual experience, you can never be the same. God expects us to change." In our mission, we love a growth mindset!! We never stop improving!!! We are truly so grateful to be serving as disciples of Jesus Christ!!!
