Friday, September 26th was our final Zone conference! There
were three (3) married couples (us, Dilles & President/Sister
Kretly) + fifty two (52) elders.
We will miss the association with so many good and faithful full-time missionaries.
The Missionary Handbook states: "Time is one of the most precious resources Heavenly Father has given to you. The period when you are able to serve the Lord with all your time and all your efforts is extremely short. Use if fully and wisely. Such an opportunity is a privilege." (Page 13)
It truly has been a privilege to be able to serve at the same time as you (Aubrey). Each mission is organized differently, based upon the local conditions, but we each have the same focus of bringing souls to Christ.

We
are all just inviting others to repent. In this wonderful process of
repentance we ourselves continue to repent of our favorite sins.....
"because of their sincere repentance...he
did deliver them because they did humble themselves before him...he did
deliver them out of bondage; and thus doth the Lord work with his power
in all cases among the children of men, extending the arm of mercy towards them that put their trust in him." (Mosiah 29: 19-20).
Some of the saddest scriptures are those that describe people that choose not to repent....
In his final discourse before being imprisoned and put to death Abinadi states four (4) times "they would not" (Mosiah 16:2,12) "they were commanded to repent and yet they would not." (Mosiah 29:12).

Photos of the week....
These men buy used clothing and then resell them in the market called: "go to" What they don't sell they bring home to store.
