DECEMBER ZONE CONFERENCE

Our December Zone conference focused on the Bold Declaration and proclamation of the Angels at the Birth of the Savior. President took that focus and taught how we need to Proclaim and Declare the Restoration with Boldness. The Angels didn't Say " Hi Shephards, we would like to share a message about Jesus Christ," They declared, "Behold we bring you good tidings of great joy, for unto to us is born this day a Savior which is Christ the Lord." President taught that we need to declare that there is a prophet on the earth today, that we have the Book of Mormon, that Priesthood keys have been restored to seal families for eternity. He focused on the Book of Mormon and how it is the Key Stone of our religion. He gave each missionary a paper back copy of the Book of Mormon and asked them to underline every reference to the Savior, his teachings and His direct words. I taught them the process and value of their weekly planning, and goal setting. Elder Pickup taught them about the three type of Questions. Questions to access their needs, Questions of understanding in teaching, and questions that help them learn by faith and process what they really think and what they must DO to come unto Christ. Elder Nnah taught what it means to magnify your calling and the realationship between that and sanctification. We lightened things up a bit with a white elephant game at lunch. We had a white Christmas slide show and testimonies to finish up the afternoon.
