GLENDALE ZONE INTERVIEWS 10/13

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

Third day this week of interviews...you would think we get tired of it, but really, it was different every day and with every zone.
The Glendale Zone was another great day!
I started off with a discussion first about things i am PASSIONATE ABOUT.  It was fun to ask the missionaries and see what they think  I am passionate about.  They were pretty much right on!  I did have to remind some of them that PRESIDENT TAYLOR is in that list!!

One thing I am passionate about is CONFERENCE TALKS.  We learned from our recent Mission President Seminar that Sister Andersen is passionate about those talks and her story of how she copied the Ensign to get each child their own copy was really sweet!  We are studying 1-2 talks each week.  Ask your missionary to tell you what talks they are studying so you can study them as well.
We were introduced to the new program called ADJUSTING TO MISSIONARY LIFE.

 The Church has a program that begins now pre-mission and continues in the MTC and then infield with us.  It is a GREAT resource that I recommend you look up online at lds.org in the PDF file.  It is good for any changes in life...job, calling, family status, college, etc.

We are excited to learn this with our missionaries!

We all did role plays today on how we can interact better with our members and stay more FOCUSED on our purpose as missionaries.  It is really easy to be distracted by those who do not understand the rules and guidelines of missionary service.  We had about 15 scenarios that we acted out and it was really so fun!

We even got President Juchau into the act a couple of times!

 The Zone Leaders led a great discussion on Dress and Grooming as well as one on how we can share some ideas on ONLINE PROSELYTING.
The mission in general is hitting that point where the excitement of being online is being replaced with the reality that THIS IS REALLY HARD.

We are pioneers in this forum but doing SO GOOD at figuring out how to plan and make this time more productive and focused.

Thank you for helping your missionary stay on task and by not messaging or distracting them from their purpose.

As in every interview day, we had a GAME WITH A PURPOSE.  Today it was manners!

I brought back SOCKBALL after a 2 year wait!  Yes, it got a bit active, but was so much fun.
And, I apologize to Elder Nelsons Mom that he got a floor burn hole in his suit pants!!! I did send over mending tape to iron on to fix them :(

 Ask your missionary if they learned anything new in the game.

We left with the idea that this game would be really good for missionaries to teach to the youth at Mutual or Seminary.  We are trying to THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX as it is!

 We celebrated our SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER birthdays today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO:
Sister Hutchinson
Sister Hansen
Elder Parsons

President got to interview personally, each missionary in the zone.  This was the most important thing we got done today.
What amazing people we get to associate with!  Each one is meant to be here, and we love them so very much!  Thank you for your support and love and prayers!!
