Online Teaching at the ROC (Records Operation Center)

While the Visitors' Center is closed for remodeling, the sister missionaries were graciously welcomed to the ROC - the Records Operation Center to continue their online teaching.
Sisters assigned to the Visitors' Center along with their full field companions find joy in speaking with people in many lands. 
The sisters teach those interested in the gospel until they are able to be taught in their local area.  The sisters will continue to talk with and encourage all those who have missionaries teaching them locally.
Our VC Sister Trainer Leaders, Sister Kohler and Stringfellow, teach about the value of various online resources such as "Chat" to teach 

Sister Ganta shares her testimony of the value of online teaching and the conversion of those she has taught

Sister Grow tells the story of a friend in Brazil that she met online who was baptized, and shared with us his expressions of delight in finding the Gospel

Sister Gonzalez speaks of the challenge she first experienced with online teaching.  She taught a man when he came to the Visitors' Center.  When she contacted him online, he seemed  distracted and somewhat uninterested in their conversations.   She persisted by sending messages of faith and encouragement and was filled with gratitude and joy when she learned that he will be baptized soon.

Sister Anderson and Greene help us understand the importance of teaching with the Spirit whether with someone in person or teaching them online

The ROC provided their conference room for our first Preparation Meeting while the Visitors' Center is closed for remodeling

We thank Elder and Sister Clark who direct the Records Operation Center for allowing us to use their facility

Elder Moulton from the Missionary Department in Salt Lake, who is overseeing the remodeling project joins us in our Preparation Meeting

Sister Clark and Elmo tell us that they were taught in the MTC to "have a blast"!  And we can tell they do at the ROC!

Celebrating October Birthdays

These two companions, Sister Hale and Sister Willes, both have birthdays in October - we will look forward to wishing Sister Pajaro  happy day when we see her again after her full field experience.

Sister Zamudio welcomes and looks forward to training Sister Loynd from Oregon.  Her first experience as a Visitors' Center sister missionary is at the ROC!
