Zone Conferences August/September 2014


                         We Started our Zone Conferences in the Louisville West Zone.
                                    
                                     The next day we traveled to The New Albany Zone.

And, we finished the week out in The Louisville Central Zone.

We were very lucky to have our AMA (Area Medical Adviser) with us for
 the first three Conferences.
Elder Dr. and Mrs. Allgaier

He talked about stomach problems and then set-up a clinic for questions
 and anything else our missionaries needed to discuss with the Doctor.
 It was GREAT!
  We hope to have him back for Zone Conferences in November.

September 2nd found us in Evansville, IN for our 
Evansville Zone Conference.


                                  Then we headed to the Lexington KY Zone Conference.
                          We stayed overnight for the Lexington North Zone Conference.
                                             We finished the week at the Crestwood Zone.
                  What do you think Zone Leaders Rasmussen and Johnson were up to?

August MLC








August 12th brought all the "Mission Leadership" to the Mission Home for Zone Leaders and STL's reports, Lunch and THEN TRAINING.   We love the singing! 
We have GREAT young leaders - who are trying to show exact obedience to the Lord and their Leaders.  WOW,  where did these Elders, Sisters, and Hermana's come from?  They have truly been saved for these last days, when the Lord is hastening his work.

Just look at the GLOW!    FIND - TEACH - BAPTIZE - RETAIN - ACTIVATE - DO ALL FIVE EVERYDAY!
