Train the New Missionaries and their Trainers

The new missionaries have been here for a few days now and hopefully

had a few missionary experiences.

As we see them, we see they are a little more at ease.

They, along with their companions (their trainers), had the opportunity

to come together with  President Andersen, President Webb, and the

Assistants to do a little more training to make sure the first 12 weeks are

off to a smooth start.

Redrock Zone District Meeting

Our weekly visits to the different zones to attend their District Meetings

took us to the Red Rock Zone this past week.

Mission Presidents Seminar

April 11th,12th and 13th  President Black and I went Scottsdale, Arizona to the North America Southwest Area Mission Presidents Seminar. We able to be with 18 other Mission Presidents and their wives who are serving in Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma. It was nice to be able to talk with others who are sharing the same types of experiences. 

 We were taught by Elder Russell M. Nelson, Elder and Sister Tad Callister, Elder and Sister

 Stanley G. Ellis, Elder and Sister Larry Echo Hawk, and Brother Tracy Watson from the

 Missionary Department.

Elder Nelson taught about the Scattering and the Gathering of Israel, and how the Lord

 is hastening that gathering process. There is a lot of work that the missionaries as

well as the members of the church are being asked to do. 

 

 It was a wonderful "leadership training meeting"

and a great spiritual boost.

 

  

 

 This is a picture of the eight mission presidents and their wives  in this area that

will be released as of July 1.

Blacks (Nevada Las Vegas West), Sagers (Texas Fort Worth), Ellsworths (Arizona Mesa),

Comings and goings in the mission!

Elder and Sister Conder left last
 week as they completed their mission.  They
have been serving in the Nevada Las Vegas West Mission

for the past 18 months.  We certainly do appreciate

all that they have done.  We thank them and wish them

well as they return home and look forward to new adventures!

 

We also say farewell to Sister Young who has been serving in the Employment
Office.  She has been a blessing to many, many people through her service.
Farewell and Best Wishes Sister Young!

 

 

As we say farewell to some, we also extend a warm welcome to Sister Dana.
She will be taking over Sister Conder's place, working with the baptismal records,
cell phones, and referrals.   Welcome to our office family!

 

We also welcome Sister Houseman to the mission.  Sister

Houseman is from Alberta Canada.  She will be working

in the Family Services Employment Center.

Welcome!
