Zone Conferences

This week we held two zone conferences in the Texas Houston Mission.  On Tuesday, we met with the West, Cypress and Katy zones and then on Wednesday the Klein, Spring, College Station and Houston North zones.  It is always wonderful to gather as missionaries to feel the Spirit of the Lord and be taught important principles that will help us in our missionary efforts.  Throughout the days, missionaries were instructed on the plan-study-teach cycle, first lessons, power hour, health, nutrition, car safety, referral reporting, strengthening less-actives, apartment maintenance, manners, gratitude and smiling more.  We also heard beautiful musical numbers, miracles and a presentation from the ASL missionaries on how to contact deaf people.  As always, the highlight of each day was hearing testimonies from the departing missionaries and additional testimonies as time allowed.  We appreciate wonderful members from the Katy Stake and Spring ward who provided lunch for the missionaries and all others who helped to make these conferences possible.  Pictures from both zone conferences have been combined into one entry.  We hope you will find a picture or two of your missionary.

Training Meetings

It has been a rainy week here in the Texas Houston Mission and we are grateful for the moisture to help current drought conditions.  Amongst other things, a New Leadership Training meeting was held on Tuesday to train newly called district and zone leaders and the monthly Zone Leader Council was held on Wednesday followed by a lunch at the mission home.  Here are a few pictures taken at ZLC.
