DeFuniak Springs

What a fantastic day in DeFuniak Springs. Five new wonderful members of the Church were baptized. A blessed day for the Elders; Elder Bovee, Elder Anderson, Elder Decker, Elder Ashcroft, Elder Grimaud, and Elder West.
And to top it all off, Elder Miller and his parents returned for the Baptism. It was great to see him again!

Just Bein Me

Some of our other fab shots from Mission Conference.

Mission Leadership Council

Our Mission Leadership gathered together after the Conference to discuss the things we learned, and how we might implement those things into our missionary efforts. Some of our observations: *Forget ourselves and FOCUS on others! "It's not about me" -Elder Milne *Be Yourself. Find your own strengths, and develop them. Don't be someone you're not. -Elder Rogers *What Motivates your Missionary work? -Elder Browning *We are a team. We are all on the Lords team. -Elder Jorgensen *Use your own talents and abilities to strengthen the Mission. -Elder Howard *Life is a prayer. Are our actions in line with the Lords will? -Elder Jones *Remove the unnecessary things from our Load that weigh us down. -Sister Holmes *Commitment to be more committed to our discipleship. -Sister Wood *Spiritual power comes from continued personal conversion. -Sister Christiansen *As a leader in the Church, there is no "they". - Elder Peterson *It's important to look at the BIG picture, in God's scheme of things. -Sister Nichols *Focus on the Individual. Don't make an activity more important than a person. -Elder McLaws

We held our first Mission Conference in Fort Walton for our Fort Walton, Pensacola, and Mobile Zones. We were spiritually uplifted and blessed by the teaching, testimony, and training from Elder and Sister Brent H. Nielson, and Elder and Sister Vern P. Stanfill. We feel very grateful for this wonderful opportunity to learn and be inspired.

Apartment Check!!

These lucky missionaries had apartment checks by Elder and Sister Nielson, and Elder and Sister Stanfill. We couldn't be prouder of the way there apartments looked. Thanks missionaries for your awesomeness!
