It's almost been a year since the Prophet asked us...


Sign up for our Newsletter - http://eepurl.com/cZDKYn


Scottsdale Coordinating Council - You are amazing!
We have almost accomplished EVERYTHING that was asked of us!
There's just one more item...
It's almost been a year since the Prophet asked us to work with the 11-12 year olds...

 What have we done? Our Stakes have been doing an excellent job!  You are all running as fast as you can!

     We've had a year packed with changes in Family History and have trained the Elders Quorum Leaders, their Counselors over Temple and Family History, and then there is the new Temple and Family History Leader that we needed to train in the Stakes where the Wards opted to use that method.


STAKE LEADS, WARD LEADS, CONSULTANTS

     Our Stake Leads have been working hard to have each ward send a TFHC to work one night per month from each Ward to the Stake Library.  The Stake Leads have also been working to train the Ward Leads and Temple and Family History Consultants on the one-on-one, spirit led, personalized family history experience.  TFHCs are going out with the Full Time Missionaries and working with people who are being taught.  They are helping them gather names for a fan chart and visiting the Stake Center to enter names in their own FREE account!   They are partnering with ministering sisters and brothers to make sure converts get to the Temple within 60 days!  They have been using our training decks and cheat sheets to allay the anxieties of the new consultants using the non-manual preferred method of the First Presidency.

YOUNG ADULTS inviting Non Members to join in!   

 Our Young Adults are planning inclusive fun Activities, like Family History Escape Rooms and utilizing Family History Games to spark interest in the young adults' families.  They are infusing fun into Family History!

  OUR YOUTH ARE MINISTERING TO THE ELDERLY AND GETTING FAMILY HISTORY DONE!  

 Our Youth have been going out in pairs with invitations and cookies to invite our  Elite Singles and Older Sisters/Brothers to work together in partnership, thereby getting to appreciate the older generation for their gifts and hard work lessons that they impart to the youth while working  with them.  Working to include older sisters and brothers by calling them and offering to work with them one on one in their homes has been found to be helpful and invigorating to both.  The youth have also increased their numbers by learning how to log in with their own login and password and reserving and printing their own names from the accounts.  That makes your Stake numbers swell and tells the Prophet that you are getting it done!  Well Done!

RELIEF SOCIETY, ELDERS QUORUM AND MISSION LEADERS  

   Our Relief Society and Elders Quorum Presidencies are working more with the Mission President and  Ward Mission Leaders.  As new people being taught are welcomed into the fold, these great people are making sure that they are loved and friend-shipped.  The Consultant assigned by the Ward Lead to work with that person also works with someone the Relief Society Counselor or Elders Quorum Counselor assigns to minister to that person.  The three work in partnership  to make sure that the new convert goes to the Temple within 60 days with their own names!

PRIMARY LEADERS 
It's your turn to shine!
if you are over the 11-12 year olds, you have been encouraging them to do as the Prophet asked!

They are getting help from a Temple and Family History consultant learning the Consultant Planner and Partner Access.  They have their very own accounts and are able to reserve names shown to them in the Planner and they can hand them to their Parents to do until they become 12 and can go with the Youth to do the Baptisms.

We are so proud of the strides you have made this year!

Keep up the good work

HOW DO YOU KEEP TRACK OF CONVERT TRAINING?




Grasp the Challenge!
Be in Control of your Data forever!


Whether you are a Stake or Ward Lead, you are tasked with helping Investigators work with consultants and Missionaries with progression towards baptism.

During that time, there are several things that must happen.

1.  Who has been assigned to help them?
2.   As an investigator, have they been given a login and password?
3.   Have they started their tree?
4.   What is the baptism date?
5.   What is the 30 day mark towards the 60 day goal?
6.   What is your 60 day target date?
7    Post Baptism - have they been signed up for Partner Access?
8.   Have they learned the Consultant Planner?
9.   Do they have a limited use recommend?
10. Do they know how to reserve a name?
11.  Have they printed names?
12.  What was the date of the first visit to the temple with their names?




What if you had an excel workbook that you entered the data and it kept track of the numbers?
UPDATED 5/29/ 258PM - BETTER VERSION - MADE SURE THERE ARE NO LOCKED CELLS, BUT USE PASSWORD TEMPLE IF YOU WANT TO TWEAK IT FOR YOUR WARD

DOWNLOAD HERE

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO GET IT SET UP:

This is working!  We have been getting messages that the Bishops/TFHCs are editing the sheets.

We updated the formulas in my Tracking spreadsheet - My husband is a mathematician and made it a lot more professional.    Here is our better version - I'm going to send it to others.
We created an account at onedrive.com
Created a folder for each Stake
Created a folder for each ward in that folder
Then saved a template as each ward name
Lastly created an excel sheet for our Mission President who wants to be informed and updated often of all the shared links, by ward....by Stake.  All he has to do is open one excel file and click on any ward he wants.

As long as no one changes your links and tries to do a "save as" to their system, your Leads can keep it updated for the Presidents/ (Stake and Mission) to keep "in the know!"

Excel is Microsoft Office - and it works very well with onedrive.com....google drive stops and hesitates with MSO products.
