Newburgh ZONE Meeting

Newburgh Zone Conference

We had our first Zone meeting with our new Zone and all the elders. This Zone is much bigger than our one in Olmstead. No sisters here, just me. A lot of new faces. It will be fun to get to know them. I am glad that we have the assignment to do apartment inspections to all of them. I have all ready received request to cut shirt sleeves off. I love to be of help to them. This is also the biggest geografical area Zone. Many of them live 45 minutes away from us. So apartment inspections will take several days.

We had a great Zone Meeting. The focus was teaching with understanding. Making sure we are asking enough questions to know if the investigators and new converts are learning and understanding what it is they are learning. We have great missionaries, especially those who are AP's and Zone leaders. They are amazing. We also all received a CD from President Searle a devotional from Elder Holland on the "Atonement". It is an awesome message.

After returning back to Monticello we went with Elder Gale and Mook to a ladies home to teach her. She is so prepared and searching for the gospel. Her father passed away suddenly last week and she really wants to know where he is and that he is okay and what she needs to do so she can see him again. This is really exciting when you have someone like this that is "Golden". We also met someone at Wendy's. We grabbed a bite to eat after family study night at the church and the guy behind the counter recognized us as missionaries. He said he was baptized when he was 8 but never really went to church. We got his name and number and will call and set appointment with hem. He is engaged to be married and was talking about temple marriage. He is not on our branch records. Isn't it interesting and wonderful how the Lord puts us where we need to be.
