Mission Leadership Council December 2017

In the final mission leadership council of the year, the Zone Leaders, Sister Training Leaders, assistants, and President McSwain discussed our efforts over the past year, and where our focus will lie in the coming year. Elder Tai and Elder Tewes gave a great training on zone accountability, the assistants gave one on the meal program and President presented his direction on what'll happen in 2018. He said he had never seen a more powerful group of missionaries than there are now. We are excited for the work ahead of us in 2018!

How the Missionaries Found Me 2017

We showed this video at the Christmas conference as a tribute to those who have set their sights on Christ by following His example by being baptized. We also thank the hard working missionaries who have sacrificed to preach the restored gospel here in Australia. This video features many recent converts explaining how they met the missionaries. We hope that each one of these precious souls will stay true and faithful to the path of discipleship!

Christmas Conference 2017!

It's that time of year! All the missionaries that could gathered together at Karawatha Chapel on Thursday for a great Christmas Conference. We started with a spiritual devotional with readers and Christmas hymns to celebrate the Savior's birth. Then we shared our favorite scriptures from the Book of Mormon reading challenge that we've been a part of these last couple months.

We shared lunch together and each zone participated in a production about Elder Rudolf, the red-nosed Golden. We had a great time enjoying one another's company and commemorating the greatest Gift given to mankind through the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the reason for the season!
