Hello everyone!
This week was pretty crazy!! We had a week-long zone conference! The 4 zones in the metro area (that's me!) met together in Highlands Ranch on Tuesday with 2 members from each area to talk about working with members to "love, share, and invite" (sharing the gospel in normal and natural ways). The other 5 zones in the mission joined us on zoom for that meeting. I did a musical number with my past comp, Sister Ray, and also Elder Hassard. We did "Savior, Redeemer of My Soul" with me on the piano, Sister Ray on the violin, and Elder Hassard singing. The rest of that day we had member lessons to implement what we had learned.
On Wednesday, the in-person meeting was in the mountains so those zones were together and the rest of us joined on zoom. We received training on how to effectively message people on Facebook! The rest of that day we had lots of Facebook finding time.
The in-person meeting on Thursday was in Grand Junction and we joined on zoom to learn about teaching skills! On Friday, our entire mission met on zoom before our weekly planning session to discuss how to effectively plan and implement everything we learned at zone conference. President Rees promised us that we would see unexpected miracles from our efforts.
Last night we had a devotional on zoom with our whole mission and missionaries got to share cool experiences and miracles they had throughout the week with what we learned. So many missionaries were able to find new people to teach and progress them to having a baptismal date! It was so amazing to hear the testimonies of so many of my fellow missionaries here in the Colorado Denver South Mission.
We weren't able to get anyone on date for baptism this week BUT we did see a lot of success with our members and on Facebook! We had members inviting people to activities and so many people responded to our Facebook messages. We have a good feeling about this coming week!
A new In-N-Out opened pretty close to where we live so we had to go! The drive-thru line was super long but it was worth it. We also decided to make a fort one night with our beds which was fun :)
Love, Sister Young
