Elders and Sisters,
We are looking forward to meeting with you at zone conference this coming week! As has been the case in zone conferences past, we will be focusing much of this conference on doctrines and principles found in one of the lessons we teach from PMG. This time we will be taking these themes from lesson 5.
In hopes of helping us all to feel prepared to be edified and more deeply converted, we would like to make the following assignments to you for the purposes of preparing 5 minute talks:
1. To the companion who has been serving the longest time: We would like you to give a talk on how our faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement can help us overcome and enable us to help others overcome the potentially offensive actions of others. We would like you to read the following as the basis for this talk:
- "And Nothing Shall Offend Them" by Elder Bednar (April 2006 Gen Conf)
- John 6:22-65
2. To the companion who has been serving the shortest time: We would like you to talk on the difference between priesthood authority and priesthood power. All missionaries have been given priesthood authority to teach the gospel so we would also like you to teach how to develop priesthood power. We would like you to read as the basis for this talk:
- "The Power of the Priesthood" by Pres Boyd K. Packer (April 2010 Gen Conf)
- "The Price of Priesthood Power" by Pres Russell M. Nelson (April 2016 Gen Conf).
Please be sure to read all of the materials identified. We are going to be beginning an initiative which we will announce at zone conference where you will find that the knowledge of these teaching will prove to be very valuable.
We are excited to learn from each you and look forward to another wonderful experience together!
Love,
President and Sister Mortensen
