To the Missionaries of the Great Texas Houston Mission,
We look forward to seeing all of you at zone conferences this week. We will center the theme conference around those doctrines found in lesson 5 "Laws and Ordinances."
In preparation for this conference, we would like you to prepare a 5 minute talk on one of the following topics:
1. How can we better accomplish our Missionary Purpose by working more closely with active members, less actives and recent converts?
2. In this day and age when marriage is under attack, how can I better teach about the sanctity of marriage in a way that will strengthen the marriages of those I teach (member or investigator)?
We request that at least one person in each companionship have one of these topics prepared before you arrive at your zone conference.
We look forward to a great zone conference!
Love,
President and Sister Mortensen
