Has anyone been ministered to or been given a ministering assignment and told how to minister.
I am totally clueless.
My wife and I teach in primary and was given a list of names.2 families i knew 8 others were total strangers.
Will get set apart and given some instructions or am i expected to do whatever.

As this is a forum of EX-Mormons we won't have this kind of info. Try mormonhub.com

"I am totally clueless."

You aren't alone. So is the rest of the church. For that matter, so is Prez Nelson.

Here you'll find support for leaving Mormonism. Not for being one.

I think it involves dressing in your temple robes. Be sure that you're wearing the full garb before leaving your house.

My ministering partner came up to me when I saw him this week and asked when we were going out ministering, I just told him it was cool to just text the people now we're good

Emily Post says, "A minister is titled,'Reverend,' and the abbreviation is, 'Rev.'"

You could do the Nostradamus:

LDS can't even minister to the man on the name of tscc and it's prayers. It couldn't be more unnatural..

To quote Nancy Reagan..."Just say No..."

Ten families to contact on a regular basis? That is insane.

Group text or email. Or just ignore it.

Everything is the same as when you were a home teacher but now you are supposed to wear a minister's clergy/clerical collar when you are on duty. They are very flattering and you will get lots of attention.

Ministering is a clever ploy to regenerate excitement in home and visiting teaching. Instead of the last of the month push and reporting it's now quarterly interviews and guilt tripping.

Ministering will soon lose it's new and exciting feel. Probably right after the first "you aren't doing enough" interviews.

It's all just remodeling the church in an attempt to make it seem more like a church and less like a corporation.

My Relief Society home teacher and I laughed at the new title.

How does one 'minister' to another? I said it must include vacuuming my carpet and doing my dishes. (This is the woman who cannot-not bring me something nice to eat when she comes over--a slice of banana bread, or cookie, or whatever.)

Or, maybe even lay her hands on my head and give me a blessing?
