To the missionaries of the Great Texas Houston Mission,
We feel spoiled to be able to get together with you more frequently in zone conferences :). We look forward to seeing you this week. Your speaking assignments for which we would like you to prepare in anticipation of our conferences are as follows:
More experienced companion: 1 Ne 16:10-32 and Alma 37:37-47
Please look for applications to our missionary service. What principles is the Lord trying to teach us? What does He want for us? Why? What do you learn that you need to do more diligently to be lead by the Lord to those who He has prepared?
Less experienced companion: 1 Ne 17

We also would like you to do a little homework in advance so you can prepared for some work we will do at the conference. Each companionship MUST bring the following to zone conference:
1. A current list of your unbaptized children of record
2. A current list of the part member families in your ward(s).
3. A current list of prospective Elders
4. A list of non members who attend your ward(s) fairly regularly
5. A list of recent converts from your ward(s) in the last two years
6. A list of all former investigators who once had a baptismal date
7. A list of all former investigators who previously attended church.
Sources:
Your ward council/Bishops will be your best resource for #s 1-4 above.
Your area books will be the best sources for #s 5-7 above.
It it critical that you have this information by your zone conference date. Make the time to be sure you have the best information. The better your preparation, the more likely we will be to receive the revelation we need. Call me with questions.
We are seeing a great number of miracles in our mission every week. We must remember that they will continue only as we qualify to be used by Him to do His work!
We love you and are excited to see you!
Love,
President and Sister Mortensen
We had a Mission President's "Why I Believe" Fireside last night. It was a spirit filled evening of testimonies and beautiful music. We are so grateful for all who participated!
