This morning, we attended our Zone Conference up at the Stake Center. It was a combined Zone Conference, our Zone and the North Augusta Zone. President Cottle spoke a great deal in regards to being trustworthy, and being strictly obedient to the rules of the mission, as they are established to protect and bless us. Our Zone Leaders instructed the missionaries on keeping good and accurate records of their work.

At the conclusion of the conference, we had to dash home to prepare for Institute. This evening, we discussed section 133 of the Doctrine and Covenants, which is also known as the appendix. We compared and contrasted it to the preface of the Doctrine and Covenants, which of course is section 1. From these two sections we can ascertain the purpose of this wonderful volume of scripture: To raise the voice of warning and to prepare a people for the second coming of Jesus Christ. We had a good turnout this evening, we love these young men and women who have committed themselves to come out.

Here are some photos from today's conference.
