Zone Concilio set Goals for the New Year!

Zone leaders came to the mission home to discuss the missionary work together
with President May. They reviewed the past year and looked forward to 2010
working together, setting goals and making plans.

Zone leaders and assistants discussed the great successes they had during 2009, what the Lord blessed us to accomplish, talked about ways to improve. They had so much to talk about, that they all decided to come back the next day to discuss and set more
plans, by adjusting goals, re-addressing the mission standard and how to best
accomplish these ideas. It was a positive, interactive, everyone-participates
kind of activity that demonstrated good counceling, working together.
We have much to be thankful for in our mission, and know that the Lord expects
much more still from each of us. We will put our trust in Jesus Christ and
listen to the Holy Ghost guide us for this new year, 2010. The concilio was followed
by a nice lunch together in the mission home dining rooms, and a group photo. We
love these dear missionaries. What fine leaders they are and will be for the Lord in their futures.

Zone Leader Concilio

Sitting in on part of the Zone Leader's Concilio/ council meeting is humbling as we see the great strength of the leadership the Lord has placed in our mission from these wondeful zone leaders. They are like the Team Captains of the mission, and lead with love and concern for their missionaries in their own zones. They come from all different areas, backgrounds, histories, etc, but here they are united in the work, and one purpose here in the mission. They have taken the challenge to memorize in their native language, DyC 121:34--to end, which teaches about the Priesthood, but in detail, about leadership and their responsibilities. They are so faithful and eagerly want to talk to Hermana May, to have her listen, while they recite the scriptures they have learned, often in their 2nd language also. So impressive are these fine Elders of Israel. When Presidente May asked them for some insights and improvements they think we can use in the mission, these are some of their ideas:


-Be more reverent in appropriate times.
-Be punctual in every case, meeting, visit, appt., etc.
-Representing the Lord in EVERY MOMENT.
-Be efficient in our lunch appointments, sharing a message and leaving within the hour.
-Have pure motives and not aspire for assignment or another position.
-Being more humble, more obedient.
-Urgency in doing the work.
-Listening to the RIGHT types of music, only Hymns and Primary songs.
-Staying focused and not getting distracted with neighborhood balls, music, etc.
-Keeping confidentiality in our communications amongst missionaries.
-Maintaining 20 contact per day, MINIMO so we continue to work hard.
-More unity in each level, companionships, districts, zones.
