District Meetings!
MLC
Mission Presidents Seminar and spending a wonderful few hours with some of our Returned Missionaries in Auckland!
Come and See Fireside at Warwick Chapel
We really enjoyed our District Meeting with the great Elders and Sisters of the Como District. They worked on the skills of listening and discerning our friends and investigators needs while we are finding and teaching. PMG p. 137 states:
"You are assigned to do the Lord's work in a specific area. He wants you to watch over your area with love and great care. Your purpose is to help others come unto Him through baptism and confirmation.
Do all you can to leave your area stronger than you found it. Meaningful goals and careful planning will help you accomplish what the Lord requires of you. As you care for the people in your assigned area, you will account to Him and to your mission leaders.
This chapter ( PMG chapter 8) will help you knowhow goal setting, planning and accountability can help many people receive the restored gospel."
Look who we got to spend a couple hours with during our very quick trip to Auckland for a brief Mission President's Seminar! It was wonderful to catch up with these great young men and young women. They are continuing to move forward with faith in their Saviour Jesus Christ! We love them!!! (We missed those of you who could not make it. We apologize for the very short notice!)
And we met this Elders beautiful fiance'!
The topic of "Ministering" was discussed at the seminar. It was uplifting and inspiring.
It is wonderful to catch up with other Mission Presidents and their wives and to learn from them.
North Coast Come and See Fireside!!!
The Spirit was sweet and powerful as many people came together for the Come and See Fireside in the Warwick Chapel of the North Coast Stake. There were many friends of the missionaries who attended. The testimonies shared by the converts to the church were wonderful, and the music was heavenly! Thank you to all who helped make it such a nice evening!!!
Here are some quick shots of some of our friends and missionaries.
A thought shared in last conference by President Eyering:
"The Prophet Joseph set an example for us of how to receive continual spiritual direction and comfort through the Holy Ghost.
The first choice he made was to be humble before God.
The second was to pray with faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The third was to obey exactly. Obedience may mean to move quickly. It may mean to prepare. Or it may mean to wait in patience for further inspiration.
And the fourth is to pray to know the needs and hearts of others and how to help them for the Lord. Inspiration will help us minister to others for the Lord. You have seen that in your experience, as I have."
We'll see you this week at Zone Conferences! And Country, we'll send it up to you ASAP! Have a faith filled week, seeing miracles every day!
