Barcelona/Badalona Zone Conference--August 22, 2017

We enjoy a wonderful day with missionaries in the Barcelona/Badalona zones. These are two of our largest zones so we have 58 missionaries in attendance. We begin with a morning leadership meeting with our Zone Leaders, Sister Training Leaders and District Leaders.

We begin our morning session with my presentation, "Healthy Living: Key to a Happy, Productive Life" Elders Perri and Christensen, Assistants, teach, "From O to Z: An Effective Start &End" then Elder Garner taught,"Lecciones in Español" and then Hermana Bowden demonstrated a teaching trick using an invisible pen, paper and lighter. President Dayton concludes the morning session with, "Book of Mormon: Our Greatest Proselyting Weapon". We then do a 20 minute practica using a map and telling the Book of Mormon story.

For lunch, Elder and Hermana Fowers, make delicious cole slaw, fruit salad to along with the pizza. For dessert we enjoy zucchini bread and ice cream sodas.

We honor those who have birthdays in May, June, July and August by singing Happy Birthday and giving them their choice of candy bars.

Our afternoon session began with our Scripture Memorization Challenge. Elders Harris and Bowman teach a lesson on, "Teach People, Not Lessons" and Hermanas Nelson and Errigo teach, "Perfect Love Casteth out All Fear". We sing our traditional song, Fill the World with Love, and then President Dayton shares, "Becoming a Master Teacher by Teaching like the Master".

We then view a video on Joseph Smith and the First Vision and then Elder McNutt, Elder Harris and Elder Robles, our missionaries returning home this transfer, share what the Lord taught them in the mission along with their testimonies. We enjoy a very spiritual testimony meeting to conclude our zone conference.
