Some Zone Conference Fun

Elder Parker in his beloved Jazz blanket and Elder Fangupo with his sleep mask role playing a perfect morning. The first part of a perfect morning is to 'arise' not just 'wake up' at 6:30 AM. Elder Holland teaches that a missionary makes or breaks their mission in the hours between 6:30 and 10 AM which we affectionately call our perfect mornings.

Another part of a perfect morning is personal study which begins at 8 AM is personal study. WE ask the missionaries to be dressed and ready for the day when they meet the Lord and be come His investigator. Elder Parker and Elder Fangupo demonstrate what you are supposed to not do. They do this after their exercise and breakfast

Our Hawaiian Elders! Of course they have a special place in our hearts because of our family that lives in Hawaii. These two sang "Nearer to God" for us in the conference. They did one verse in Hawaiian. I don't think there was a dry eye. They come with so much fire and I guess my kids would say with so much "Aloha". They are motivating us all. Elder Nitta's father teaches music and the two of them sang much in Hawaii. I think we will hear from them every chance we get.

LIFT WHERE YOU STAND We discussed the principle that just as they are called to serve in the Florida Tampa Mission, they are also called by revelation to serve in their areas. The discussed the talk by President Uchtdorf called Lift Where You Stand, and together they could left the table using two fingers each.They lifted it over President's head.
