Zone Conferences February 10th and 12th: Eternal Progression and the Light of Christ

We began this quarter's Zone Conferences the second week of February with a theme of Eternal Progression and the Light of Christ.  With a new year just beginning, it was time to set new goals, both individually and as a mission.  We shared how it is in our very natures as sons and daughters of God to desire progression and improvement and to reach and stretch.  The Mission Leadership Council met a week earlier and worked together to determine new Standards of Excellence for our mission.  Those goals were presented during the morning session.  We also had a wonderful presentation from Elder and Sister Morgan, our Senior Couple over the Address Unknown program, with ideas and success stories of reaching those members who have been lost on the records.  President Rahlf concluded the morning teaching about how we can be missionaries with power as we reach beyond what we think we can do.  Of course, delicious lunch was then enjoyed and a great "contacting" activity.  The afternoon session was all about the light of Christ and we ended the day with testimonies from our missionaries.  We all left edified and uplifted and grateful to be serving the Lord in the wonderful Philippines Cauayan Mission.

We had two really great Zone Conferences and look forward to two more next week.  Thank you parents, family, friends, wards and branches, for sending and supporting these amazing missionaries. President Rahlf and I, and the people in the Cauayan Mission have hearts that are blessed over and over again.

"Sweet is the work, my God, my King,
To praise thy name, give thanks and sing,
To show thy love by morning light,
And talk of all thy truths at night."
