LEADERSHIP MARCH 2014

Quarterly we hold a LEADERSHIP MEETING with all our Sister Training Leaders, District Leaders and Zone Leaders.
President Taylor, the Assitants and Myself conduct the training.  It is always a sweet experience to have together these great stewards.

 The Assistants taught the same subject as the day before in MLC.  They taught how to go meet with both ward and stake leaders as well as ward members, to pray with them and bless their homes as well as ask them who else they could go pray with or teach a short lesson.  They offer to help with whoever that person has stewardship over.  For example, for an Elders Quorum President, they would offer to visit any prospective Elders they are focusing on, or any Elder who may have a special need.  They would invite Home Teachers to then be involved in that visit with them.

We practice what we teach.  It is revelation to practice asking people if you can pray for them.

In my practice, I was the member, and the Elder actually prayed for the needs I expressed in our family...they were real needs and the prayer was very real and the Spirit was there in abundance.  I know that Elder will continue to pray for our family.
Your missionaries LOVE the people they serve!

If you click on the link above, you will find your son or daughter during lunch...if they are in leadership at this time.

 We have just enough Sisters to fill a table!

We love singing "Army of Helaman" to those who provide lunch for us!  We ARE as the Army of Helaman!

 And we love our Mission Fight Song!
There is nothing like a leadership council to really belt it out too!

We had breakout sessions today where the APs taught the District Leaders, President Taylor took the Sister Training Leaders and I took the Zone Leaders.  That was pretty cool.  My group was just so focused on how they can SERVE better.
We celebrated how successful they are as leaders and missionaries.  Success is not measured in baptisms...

It was such a great day of training with this incredible group of missionaries.  They love each other and those that they serve so very much!  We wish you could be flies on the wall to see them in action!
They learned more about repentance.  They learned how important it is to celebrate successes and to use love in correcting and helping struggling missionaries.

They modeled for us some REAL PLAY...and shared experiences that made the difference in their own lives!

We have strong testimonies that the Lord knows us.  He knows our strengths and our weaknesses and he knows that we can do whatever his will is for us.  And we can do it with love.

We thank you again for these wonderful children!  They make a difference for good every day of their lives.  They know how to truly love and serve!  Thank you for modeling that for them!
