Zone Conference November 2010

We had three days of great Zone Conferences. We began with a couple of magic tricks (along with reminders on taking care of missionary cars) by our car czar Elder Hancock. Sister Baker also offered to teach them the magic trick of turning gray shirts white (bleach). After an opening song and prayer, President Baker congratulated the missionaries on already reaching this years' goal of 600 baptisms and introduced our challenge to read the Book of Mormon by January 1.

We had training on the "Sacred 30" (evening planning) by the assistants, then we had two break-out sessions on personal and companionship planning taught by the Zone Leaders that were present that day. After a delicious lunch prepared by a local Relief Society, Sister Baker spoke about living the spirit of the law rather than just the letter of the law. We need to be fully committed as described in Ezekiel 47:1-8.

President Baker then spoke about our missionary purpose and how everything we do should advance that purpose. He referred to D&C 58:27 and explained that missionaries shouldn't have to be commanded in everything. He discussed how they can use the missionary resources (missionary library, sriptures, missionary handbook, the Holy Ghost) to help them make good decisions.
