Training Video

I used a motivational video for my training this week in Zone Conference on our Mission theme "United We Stand". Many of the missionaries have asked me for a copy. I will post it here on the blog, and parents can down load it if they want to for their missionary to use after he/she returns home. Basically, the message I shared was about being a team player on the Lords team. #Believeinyourself #Believeinyourteam #Believeinmiracles.

Tallahassee 1, 2 & Panama City Zone Conference

Lots of food, love, and stories shared during lunch.
Elder Christensen just making sure everything is ready for our group picture!
More fun training from President on working together as companionships.

Fort Walton & Dothan Zone Conference

Here we are singing our Mission song for the Relief Society who prepared such a delicious lunch for all of us! And training from President always includes a few surprises. In teaching us about choosing our members present at lessons, with a purpose he called on Elder Urquiaga and Sister Mathison to switch shoes! Perfect example of how we can't pick just any member to fit our investigators needs.
Towards the end of our training, we received a visit from the local police. One of our Zone Leaders, Elder Crook, had accidently been dialing 911 during our training. The Police arrived to make sure every one was okay. Of course President told the Police officer that we are always having problems with Elder CROOK (must be the name!)

Pensacola & Mobile Zone Conference

Our first Zone Conference of the week with our Pensacola and Mobile Zones. It's always wonderful to see them, and feel of their beautiful spirits. They love to reunite for Conference too. It gives them a spiritual boost!
