• Word for word.  This is the best when memorizing the Bible.  It's suggested that you use a version that is accurate and readable.

• Concepts in order:  This is acceptable when memorizing either questions to ask, the gospel message, or your testimony.  As long as the concepts are covered, it's not at all important to use the exact words each time.

o   This is normally done by memorizing an outline.

o   It can be very effective to visualize what you're memorizing.  For example, when memorizing the questions, picture a person wondering what will happen to them when they die.  Then picture a perfect heaven, and an imperfect person who doesn't know how to get there.  If you can picture all that in order, and just spend a little time memorizing how the questions are asked, you'll have it done.

Ways to memorize.

• Read out loud whatever your going to memorize so many times in a row for several days.  This works very well for some people.  Reading it and hearing yourself say it at the same time can be very effective.

• Start at the end, say a few words, then keep adding on a few words until you've memorized everything.

• Start at the beginning with a few words, say them a few times, then say the next group of words, then say them all.  Keep doing this until you've memorized everything.
