Barcelona/Badalona Zone Conference (June 14, 2018)

We end our final round of zone conferences with Barcelona and Badalona (Greatalona). President started off the day by teaching the leaders in the leadership meeting about counseling and behavior correction for missionaries.

We begin Zone Conference with announcements. The final day for Area Book clean out is June 26, all missionaries are asked to do device audits every day and are all also asked to complete the mission survey. I discussed the Boom of Mormon member program, Flood Spain with the Book of Mormon. I also review clothing guidelines and announce the winner of Battle of the Dirt. President discusses the mission consolidation of the Malaga and Barcelona missions, and that missionaries that speak only Spanish are to speak only speak only English after 10 p.m. each week.

I begin my teaching "Lo Que El Señor me ha Enseñado" (What the Lord has Taught Me). I discuss the importance of trusting the Lord, living by the Spirit, and looking for miracles and tender mercies daily. Elders Fowler and Triana, the Zone Leaders of Barcelona, taught about how to have more effective personal studies. Hermanas Clark and Fausett, the Sister Training Leaders of Badalona, taught about the power of your why. We then sing our mission anthem, "Fill the World with Love."

 

Elder Kerr teaches lecciones en español.

Hermana Call teaches a teaching trick about teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ using an activity with sticky notes on the floor and the steps to eternal life.

President Dayton then teaches Diligence: Laboring with all your Heart, Might, Mind, and Strength. 

We also announce the winners of the "Battle of the Dirt" competition that we had to see who could have the cleanest apartments in their zones. The Barcelona 3 elders and the Badalona hermanas won for their respective zones.

 

For lunch, we enjoyed pizza and salad for lunch. We also have "volver e informar," return and report. This is where the missionaries report on their areas.

We celebrate missionary birthdays!

 

Elder Dixon and Elder Doman taught about "Teaching God's Children to Walk." We then sing "The Greatest Mission on the Earth's Great Face," written by President Dayton.

President Dayton ends the Conference by teaching The Empowering Principle of Faith. We conclude with a video and testimony meeting.

The missionaries put together a power point with many pictures from the mission and they all sang us our mission hymn, "Brightly Beams Our Fathers Mercy." It was a tender moment.
