GLENDALE ZONE INTERVIEWS JULY 2012

Thursday was interview day with the GLENDALE ZONE!!
Sisters Bailey and Robinson                     Elders Knobbe and Alles

 CLEAN CAR AWARDS to Sisters Bailey and Robinson

To Sisters Graves and Garcia

 To the fearless Zone Leaders Elders A. Johnson and M. Young

 To Elders Lemon and Johnston

CONGRATULATIONS on doing such a good job!

 The Obedience Activity was amazing in this zone.  We were painfully honest and tried to learn the WHYS and some HOWS to be more obedient to missionary rules.

 Waiting for her turn in interviews...Sister Graves is so darling!

 The Zone Leaders did a great job in their instruction.  They have a great relationship with their zone and a lot of love is shared.  They constantly share "Oh Yeah" moments with each other to boost each other up.

 Lots of birthdays in July in this zone!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Sister Robinson
to Elder M. Young, to Elder T. Anderson and to Elder A. Johnson!!!

 We had an amazing experience watching "17 Miracles" together.   I admit it...I have watched it about 11 times now and I learn something or notice something new and inspirational each time!
After a wonderful discussion following the movie, we heard departing testimonies from Elders Turner and Johnson.  It is hard to believe they will be leaving us in a couple weeks!

After the interview day, I arranged to go out teaching with Sisters Garcia and Graves.

We had the best time teaching Eddie who is being baptized on the 28th and Alicia who was baptized today (the 21st).  Very great evening with these amazing Sisters!

SURPRISE ZONE INTERVIEWS JULY 2012

 Off to SURPRISE Zones for Interviews on Wednesday this week!



We were met by cheerful missionaries working on their cars and looking bright and happy!

 The Rodgers met us there again.  It has been so fun having them along to both share thoughts with each zone.

BUCKEYE/GOODYEAR INTERVIEWS JULY 2012

We started this week with Interviews down in the Buckeye/Goodyear Zone!


Good times in the heat inspecting cars before the meeting!

 Great instruction from Elders Lynn and Hamblin on obedience and how we can be obedient to the little things that make the big difference.

 What a great meeting it was!  The missionaries were attentive and participated in discussion and really learned a lot and committed to live more consecrated lives.

 Elder Rodgers was on hand to give many CLEAN CAR AWARDS to this zone!  They work hard to have beautiful cars inside and out to represent the Lord in every way.

We love the Rodgers and all they do for us in and out of the office!



And yes, we have really silly missionaries!
THEY ARE HAPPY and it is so good to be a little silly at times!!! Does our souls good!

 We celebrated Elder Petersons July Birthday today!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  We just love him so much!

We watched 17 MIRACLES and each shared something that we learned that applied to us and the work we are doing.

"IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT!"

Incredible day of growth in this zone!
