Zone Conference

This week was Zone Conference! We have all been waiting for it was bated breath all transfer, not just because ZC is always awesome, but because this time we had Elder Devn J. Cornish from the Seventy with us. It also happened to be on St. Patrick's Day; one of the missionaries asked the APs "Who is going to pinch Elder Cornish if he isn't wearing green?" They were volunteered for the job, but I don't think they did, even though he was not wearing green. It was a great conference, with all the missionaries from Trinidad in the Port-of-Spain chapel. Elder Cornish asked us the question, "Who in the Church is referred to a 'Elder'?" The Quorum of the Twelve, Seventies, and missionaries (he made sure us sisters didn't feel left out, since we do the same job as elders, we just don't hold the priesthood office). "The Twelve and Seventies share their sacred calling with you," Elder Cornish told us, since we go into the world to preach the gospel and are witnesses of Jesus Christ (as per D&C 107). What we do is very important and special, so they share their calling with us. After lunch he taught us about the Atonement using Abraham and Isaac. Nuff said, really. It was just a good conference.

 

Other than that, it's been a normal week. Sister Hendricks goes home in two weeks, so she is trying to stay focused :) She is determined not to slow us down and to leave our area in correct, working order. I get asked, "How trunky is she?" about once a day, but honestly she is doing quite well. She is just getting organized for school and her plans to finish Personal Progress when she gets home. So, nothing to complain about, except during weekly planning when she says, "You realize we're planning for Week 5, right? And after that we'll be planning for Week 6 . . ."

 

I hope all you have had a great week. Stay well and safe. I love you :)

 

Love, Sister Aida Tibbitts
