Newburgh Zone conference #2

Our Zone Conference was inspiring and wonderful as always. We learned many new ways to spend finding those who everyone prays will be prepared when the missionaries approach them. We came up with a list of about 50 ways to find. These young elders and sisters are awesome, and so fearless. We learn so much from watching and being with them.

One of our assignments have been to inspect the missionary apartments in our Zone. Every 6 months, right before General conference, they have what is called " Conference Cleaning." This is a very full day of extensive cleaning. This go around was inspired with a prize for the cleanest apartment thru out the mission. We were to judge on 14 different points. Now this is a difficult thing to do as all the apartments are so vastly different and most are older. We are to consider: Positive attitude, overcoming natural apartment deficiencies and cooperative effort as we judge cleanliness. All were cleaned pretty darn good. But those that stood out are the ones I am sure mom had taught them how to do it and gave them responsibility at home. And then there are those who are just compulsively clean and orderly. Some even licked off the walls and floor to show us how clean they were. (yuck) All you moms out there would be very proud. The boys know how to clean. Way to go Elders!!!!!! The results will be posted next week.
