One of the programs that the Mission President has asked us to implement and teach is the Daily Dose which is an inspired program that teaches people how to learn the basics of the English language. We meet in huddles of 10 - 15 people and put up a poster which shows the basics of our language. There are a total of 48 lessons that can be taught over several weeks, each taking only 30 minutes twice a week. The success rate of those learning English in this program is very high as well as a high success of people joining the church also. Today we introduced the program in church and several members showed a lot of enthusiasum and want to be involved. We will start teaching the program on Sundays after the meetings are concluded as well as on Wednesday nights when many of the members are there. As the program expands we can go into people's homes and teach it to families and neighbors. People from different nationalities speaking different languages can be in the same group because everyone will be learning how to speak English. The Branch President is so enthusiastic for this program because he knows that the members can succeed and survive better in the American culture and work environment if they understand and can speak English.
We are excited about getting this program started.
