Final Combined Zone Conference 5-29-18

Today we finished our Combined Zone Conference month
with our Lomas and Independencia Zones.
We had a marvelous day together!
Here we are just getting started!




Independencia Zone with Zone Leaders 
Elder Powley and Elder Colvin


  Lomas Zone with Zone Leaders 
Elder Chamberlain and Elder Medina
                             


A few morning stretches 


         

Presidents teaching-
Powerful missionaries.
What gives us Power?


The moment we doubt, our faith is affected
*Doubt destroys this work
*Do not doubt the Lord nor His revelations
*The Lord has promised us... we cannot go amiss
*Trust in the Lord and have faith
***Harnessing the power that is available to us***


I talked about
Christlike Attributes~


defining them:
~searching, seeking, studying
~believing, becoming, behaving like the Savior



~Awakening unto God


*Becoming more like the Savior
will help us represent Him in richer ways*


Hard Hardheartedness > Stiff Necks
Soft Hearts > Turning to God




Divisions!


Hosting zone leaders Elder Powley and
Elder Colvin arranged the companionships




President Clayton and I were privileged to go on divisions
with Elder Bender and Elder Beckman
What a rich experience we had!




I have loved seeing our missionaries head out
with a new companion in a new area for an hour 
or so. They grab their supplies and take off
 without the least bit of hesitation or concern.
There they go!


*What can we do in this amount of time?


*How effective can we be?


*New area, partnered with a new companion..


Here is a perfect example of our sisters!


We met back and discussed our experience!


The Assistants Teaching:

Meet Pedro
Pedro is the assistants investigator for their 
practice this afternoon


We teach and care about the people we meet.

Our emphasis is not on the lessons we teach,
but on the individual people we are seeking 
to invite and unfold unto them....
how to come unto Christ.


President's and my closing...
Oh... we love our missionaries!


*A successful missionary
*Small things matter
*Missionary work is just that.... work!
*Your mission will be what you make of it
*How do we deal with anxiety, stress, and worry?



#we love our missionaries!
