Zone Conference Week

What would we do if we didn't have such terrific Assistants and office missionaries? The week of Zone Conference is certainly a busy one for all of us. We pack supplies and mail all over the mission, get up early, travel hours and hours. We are well cared for with wonderful lunches by sweet ward members each place we meet.

The Assistants teach with a wonderful spirit. This week they taught, "We invite, they commit, we follow-up." Change is very personal and must come from within. When you have a good lesson plan, that invites people to teach themselves and they are more willing to commit.

President Pimentel catches the attention of the missionaries as he teaches, "teach people, not lessons." We need to learn to ask inspired questions and to listen to the answers. Then respond as inspired by the Holy Ghost.

Sister Pimentel taught, "the Book of Mormon invites revelation." The introduction to the Book of Mormon teaches us that when we read the Book of Mormon, ponder and pray in faith, we can receive a knowledge that the restored gospel is true.

In each zone, Zone Leaders taught classes and did role plays. We were also treated to musical arrangements at each conference. The abilities of these young and senior missionaries is incredible! We love attending Zone Conferences!
