Zone Conference

Hey again everyone! This week wasn't anything special either. Well, every week is special because I get to serve the Lord all day every day, but nothing too crazy happened. Here's a list of a few things that did happen though.

We had zone conference, and we trained our zone for an hour on being converted to the Book of Mormon. We related how when we are truly converted to it, and to Jesus Christ, we have more of a desire to be obedient and to serve the people. I know that's true, because I've seen it in my ministry. Days that I "feast upon the words of Christ" are days that I honestly enjoy more. It's all related. It was good I think, now we just hope the zone will do something about it!

I went on exchanges with another one of our district leaders, Elder Moore! He's such a stud, and I knew him before the mission as well! He's in the Jacksonville East Stake, and I'd see him at multiple stake activities, as well as EFY all the time. It was a great day. Especially when people asked "where you from?" and we would both say Jacksonville. It was great. We basically tracted and visited potentials all day.

Elder Payne and I both gave talks in a ward we cover on Sunday. I spoke for 15 minutes on missionary work! My absolute favorite topic. I think it went well. I encouraged every member to do missionary work, because that is our great commission. Often people wonder what the atonement of Jesus Christ and missionaries have in common, and I always think of the quote by president hunter.

"What does the atonement have to do with missionary work? Any time we experience the blessings of the atonement in our lives, we cannot help but have a concern for the welfare of others... a great indicator of one's personal conversion is the desire to share the gospel with others." 

Just as I was saying how we need to be converted to the Book of Mormon, we need to be converted to Christ's atonement. The Book of Mormon talks all about His atonement, so what better way than to read it?

That's about it for this week. I love you all, have a fantastic week!
