Elder Stanley G. Ellis of the Seventy and his wife Kathryn came for a tour of the Texas Houston Mission this week. On Sunday night, they met with local stake presidents for training and then taught and trained the missionaries on both Monday and Tuesday at zone conferences. Elder and Sister Ellis addressed many topics including faith in Jesus Christ, following the Spirit, and working closely with local members to share the gospel. They helped to build our faith that God's ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9) and that we can find His ways for us through revelation (Jacob 4:8). We have posted a few pictures taken during lunch.
