And, finally, our Manzanillo Zone Conference!!!

Whew!  We did it!!  We have completed our first zone conferences of the year!!!
We loved spending the day here in beautiful Manzanillo.
What a great zone we have serving here.
We appreciated zone leaders Elder Torres and Elder Long's preparation for our full day of training.


Once again, President Clayton began our training
by focusing on the Doctrine of Christ
from that powerful chapter in the Book of Mormon
3 Nephi 11.





I highlighted 2 Nephi 31 as we made our own worksheet
focusing on each element of the Doctrine of Christ
faith unto repentance, 
repentance unto baptism
baptism by immersion
receiving the Holy Ghost
and
enduring to the end.








A quick bite of pizza




President Clayton's game

Practice?

They modeled and set the standard for the practices

Manzanillo District Conference

We always love coming to Manzanillo!!
We had a wonderful District Conference Saturday and Sunday.
We met briefly with our missionaries serving here after the conference.
Later Sunday afternoon, President and I were each able to go on divisions with a companionship here.



I was privileged to go with sister Hooper
and sister Herman.  What a choice experience
I had.  


President Clayton went with Elder Martindale and 
Elder Ponce. President couldn't stop talking
about how tender Elder Martindale's 
baptismal invitation was that evening. 
He said that it was a rich and sweet 
experience he will not soon forget.
