Zone Meeting and the Temple



We arrived for Zone meeting at 9:45 for the 10 am meeting and found the missionaries already seated, reading their Book of Mormons. After they called the meeting to order, they all stood and recited the 4th section of the Doctrine and Covenants. How powerful to hear those young people give that beautiful testimony of missionary work! 

They discussed ways to become better leaders and teacher, and role played several ways to present and commit more effectively.

After the meeting, we took our district to lunch. The Elders made sure we carried Book of Mormons with us at all times in case we ran into someone interested in the Gospel. We will carry a book with us at all times now.

Where else could you find a group of young adults, give them cars, cell phones, and credit cards, and send them out two by two to peach about Christ?

We attended our first session at the Memphis Temple. It is a beautiful little building. It's small, but very elegant. We loved it.

  2. When I drove out with Katie and her girls last summer we stopped for picture at that pretty little temple. I couldn't believe how small it was and really wished we had time to go inside and do a session. Isn't the surrounding area beautiful - it was one of our favorites. I don't think I made the connection that you would be in this area. I love reading about your new adventures - prayers and love to you both.
