First of four Combined Zone Conferences! 5-17-18

Today we began the first of our four Combined Zone Conferences
here in Guzman with our Guzman and Union Zones.
What a wonderful day we have had together!

 Union Zone with Zone Leaders 
Elder Castillo and Elder Esteban


Our outstanding assistants
Elder Cluff and Elder Velazquez
will be joining us for each of our
 four combined zone conferences.


President Clayton's welcome



A few stretches and deep knee bends.







Powerful missionaries.
What gives us Power?
Where do we get our spiritual 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




Lunch!









Divisions in Guzman!
Since Guzman was our hosting zone, 
President Clayton asked Elder Mejia and
 Elder Hudson to organize
an afternoon activity where both the Guzman 
and Colima zones combined together to go on 
divisions for a quick hour and a half blitz!
It was awesome!


The zone leaders took charge 



And organized they were!
They had their lists ready and called out
the companionship's for the afternoon.










*What can we do in this amount of time?
*How effective can we be?
*New area, partnered with a new companion
Go!


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 Clayton's and my closing remarks.


*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?





Wonderful day together!
#we love our missionaries!
