Mission Conference # 10

Our typical missionary, SiKE!!!! Elder Cameron is an awesome missionary.
Zone reports are so fun to witness at mission conference. Each Zone is to report how many baptisms they had last month and how many baptism dates they have for next month. They have devised very creative ways to report. We even had "President 'Obama" and "Jim Carey" and "DarthVader" make an appearance at Zone Reports. The Elders are so funny with their impersonations
Sister Lakip and Sister Sterling have served as the "Zion Companionship" this cycle. This companionship goes all over the mission observing and then training. They are awesome. This last cycle, 10 of the 11 sister companionships have had a baptism. Sisters sometimes can make progress where Elders can't. "Priceless"

We have had the best 4 days ever! First Saturday and Sunday we enjoyed General Conference, then Monday and Tuesday we enjoyed Mission Conference. We normally attend only one Mission Conference. The mission is divided in two sections, the North and the South. We had the privilege of attending both as we had to announce the winners of the Cleanest, Tidiest, Most orderly apartments in each sections, North & South. I love being with the missionaries and being taught by the spirit. It truly amazes me at the wisdom and insight the the missionaries share in teaching and discussing. I believe our return missionaries are very under-utilized when they return home. We are blessed with such a variety of guest speakers as well. This time the NY Stake President, President Buckner spoke. He was amazing and so inspirational. He taught the importance of making a "list" - a dream list. He also taught how we lose opportunities when we don't make choices and move forward. Too many RMs becoming stagnent and not reaching for their full potential of the measure of their creation. Makes you stop and think, where am I in the measure of my creation.
