Being a participant on the front lines of the Atonement with all the highs and lows that go along with this great work…now that is really living! If you desire, you can learn how the Lord wants missionary work to go forward in your ward and you can become an instrument in His hands. Enter Robert…īeing a ward mission leader (WML) can be an exhilarating experience. Robert has since been called as a bishop in his ward in Meridian, Idaho. He shares these ideas in the following article and we discuss them in audio form on the attached podcast episode. Prior to that call he was the ward mission leader where he developed some remarkable strategies to inviting people to Christ. Robert Mortensen was serving on his stake high council when this article and podcast episode was published.

No dot-leaders - That’s just a preference thing for me.After downloading the PDF, I have to resequence my pages in the PDF editor 4,1,2,3 to do a proper booklet print.I can remove them easily with Preview or a PDF editor I am having an issue when I save as PDF that it inserts an extra blank page after each page.Some limitations of using Google Docs are: My efforts at this have been focused on using Google Docs for the template as it would allow for better collaboration as well as defaulting to a PDF format I have been attempting lately to reverse the process: have a 4 page template that can then be printed out two sheets per page so it becomes the booklet. A5 seems to match fairly closely to most tablets/phones (see attached sample) I then have to Print to PDF the pages in this order: Front, Back, Back, Front, then use a PDF editor (I just use Preview on my Mac) to crop the appropriate left/right sides, and then again print to PDF - using the A5 paper size. What we have been doing for the past couple of years is having the ward bulletin specialist email me a copy of the finished word document so I can convert it to PDF. They are able to handle entering the updated information into a Word document, but that is about it. The skillset required to do the PDF conversion has been beyond the ability of our ward bulletin specialists.The dimensions of a tablet are not proportional to a half-sheet of paper. There is not an easy way to convert from one to the other.The paper program needs to be a folded paper booklet - two pages per sheet - where the PDF works best as single pages.However, this creates a couple of challenges: This has cut down on the number of paper programs we have to print each week -by about half - as well as being convenient for the ward members. In addition to the paper program that is printed each week, we have been emailing a PDF version of the bulletin on Saturday evening for anyone who wants to have it on their phone/tablet. We created for them the attached Microsoft Word document that is a fairly simple template to use. I have been working with our Ward Bulletin Specialists for a while now on various bulletin templates. In the modern world, hiding our contact information from each other is contrary to the covenant to help each other. and whatever other record-keeping and helping-each-other scriptures you care to add. However, for the vast majority of us, whenever I hear about people trying to keep their contact information from members of their own ward, my thoughts run along these lines: (Of course, if the threat knows where you go to church (so they can show up and get the printed material), I'm not sure keeping your contact information off the program or out of the newsletter is going to do you any good.) If I were one of those people, I would discuss confidentiality / privacy at the time I accepted a calling that would otherwise put my name and/or contact information on printed material. IMO, it may be valid for a small percentage of individuals who actually are under some direct threat.
