Meanwhile...May was also zone conference month.
VISION - GOALS - PLANS - ACCOUNTABILITY
were the key focus of the mornings
while
OBEDIENCE and RECEIVING REVELATION
took up the afternoon.
We played together, prayed together, learned together, and celebrated together.
Zone conference is always an enlightening time.
Some interesting Zone Conference facts that you might not know:
1. We stand and recite our missionary objective
¨Invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through
faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost,
and enduring to the end.¨
2. We review rules from the Mission Manual (white handbook)
3. We have testimonies given in English by our Latin Missionaries...it is a spiritual experience.
4. The zone leaders choose what they want for lunch and are in charge of organizing it!
5. We celebrate birthdays!
6. We focus on Preach my Gospel and practice, practice, practice to be better missionaries!
