For us, it was the constant attention. Almost every day and night, we had someone from the ward dropping by, helping us get acclimated to the new lifestyle, explaining the new jargon. It was the friends who decided to pick up our oldest daughter every morning at 5:30 for early morning seminary (and explained to us what seminary was). And it was a clever Relief Society president and an inspired bishop who made sure we each had rewarding callings which were more than just "busy" work, and which helped us learn about the "inner workings" (heh!) of the church.

The lesson is the Teachings for our Time #9, Strengthening New Converts. I have yet to read the conference addresses the outline mentions, however, I have a few questions for you out there - and be forewarned that I might want to use some or all of your responses in my lesson... What have you done to help strengthen a new convert (or new converts, as the case may be)? For those of you who have been new converts...what has been done by others that has helped strengthen you? What didn't help you? Any and all thoughts on this subject would be very much appreciated by me! :-) Thanks in advance!
