Zone Conference May 2012- Peoria/ Surprise/Buckeye-Goodyear

PLEASE CLICK ON THIS LINE FOR ALL PICTURES OF THIS EVENT! 

We had ZONE CONFERENCES this week!
We love these days with all our missionaries so much!

It is a chance to teach and train...that all things relate to things spiritual, whether about health or whatever!
 Our Assistants  helped with a very funny skit to introduce the topic of "Rest and Stress Management" which is a huge need for any missionary!  Meet Elders Negative Ned and Positive Pete!!!


We learned how to "See the world through rose- colored glasses" and that we can CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY!
We had three zones for this conference and they were in tune and fully participated in the conference session.
 President Taylor led discussions and trainings on several inspirational subjects in the chapel throughout the day.  He loves being with the missionaries and they love him!
 ...and invited President Gassaway from Buckeye to come share his testimony and experience of being project director for the currently under construction PHOENIX TEMPLE.  He shared a wonderful testimony of missionary work and temple work and how they relate.
Lunch is always a highlight at any gathering and this was no exception.
 The menu was Chinese today, and very fun!  Here are the fortunes from President Taylor and my fortune cookies...we hope they both come true   in dynamic missiony sorts of ways :)
Wait!  Both are totally being fulfilled!  We are in the middle of a bold and dashing adventure filled with a wealth of blessings!!!
 After lunch we sang to the members who prepared the meal for us...
...we celebrated March-May birthdays...
and we had everyone sign Braden's Atizona flag since he will be returning back to Provo for part of his senior year to care for our home there with our daughter at BYU.  He will be missed a lot by all the mission...and we will experience the joy of skype-parenting for awhile.


GREAT DAY OF CONFERENCE!!!
