Interviews and ZLC

This week we continued with interviews and traveled to meet with missionaries in the Cypress, Klein and Houston West Zones.  On Wednesday, we held our monthly Zone Leader Council.  This month's training plan focuses on The Book of Mormon and utilizing it more effectively in our finding and teaching efforts.

Senior Missionary Conference

Today a conference was held at the mission home for senior missionaries serving in the Texas Houston Mission.  Recently we have had several new couples arrive and it was a good chance for them to get together.  We also completed training on unified companionships, effective service in our areas and our purpose.  We are thankful for these dedicated missionaries and the maturity they add to the mission!

Interviews and Leadership Training

On Tuesday and Thursday, we held training sessions and interviews for the Katy, College Station and a portion of the Houston West Zone.  While President Pingree interviewed each missionary, Sister Pingree and the Assistants conducted training on using the scriptures effectively when teaching and other key principles from Preach My Gospel and the Missionary Handbook.  On Wednesday, a leadership training session was held for district leaders, zone leaders, and their companions, as well as selected sister companionships.  The training focused on the key invitations we make that lead people to conversion.  Our primary role as missionaries is to "invite" and "help" others keep commitments (e.g., to pray, to read and pray about the Book of Mormon, to attend church, etc.) so they will feel the Spirit of the Lord.  This leads to real conversion.  We love representing Christ and sharing His doctrine with others.
