Zone Conference Overview

It was a great week of teaching, a great week of learning in the mission. President Pimentel taught the doctrine of Baptism and also shared many examples of the miracles of Der Advent der Wunder that took place during the Christmas Season.

President and Sister Pimentel taught a Companionship Inventory and Active Listening Skills workshop. The Assistants taught a workshop on "Teaching for Understanding". It is important to keep the teaching short, simple and sequenced. Missionaries should know the doctrine, expound the doctrine and trust the Spirit. The workshops were taught eight times during the week and we all had great fun doing it.

In every zone Elders and Sisters taught a variety of topics, a few being: scripture study skills, planning and accountability, importance of the Book of Mormon in teaching, unity, goal setting and teaching skills.

One of the miracles of zone conference is the feeding of the multitudes. The sweet ward/branch members feed between 40 to 67 missionaries. They always know how much food to purchase and prepare, and they have it ready when needed. They are amazing! The food is healthy and delicious as well. We appreciate the time, energy and labor of love.

We look forward to zone conference because we enjoy each others company and bask in the Spirit of the day.
