On Tuesday and Thursday, we held training sessions and interviews for the Katy, College Station and a portion of the Houston West Zone. While President Pingree interviewed each missionary, Sister Pingree and the Assistants conducted training on using the scriptures effectively when teaching and other key principles from Preach My Gospel and the Missionary Handbook. On Wednesday, a leadership training session was held for district leaders, zone leaders, and their companions, as well as selected sister companionships. The training focused on the key invitations we make that lead people to conversion. Our primary role as missionaries is to "invite" and "help" others keep commitments (e.g., to pray, to read and pray about the Book of Mormon, to attend church, etc.) so they will feel the Spirit of the Lord. This leads to real conversion. We love representing Christ and sharing His doctrine with others.
