Notes from Zone Conference 11-2020

 


11.17.20 (zaleski) 

  • Your effectiveness as a missionary is heavily dependent on your studies 

  • When you're feeling out of motivation, study out the atonement 

  • Actions have a greater impact than words (boyfriend saying I love you and then cheating) actions make things stick 

  • There are people out there that are waiting for us, they NEED our message 


Pres Walker: 

  • Humility is not thinking less of yourself but less about yourself 


Emma (YSA) 

  • If the Lord sends you there, it is not impossible 

  • He will not ask you to do things that you cannot do WITH His help. that doesn't mean it will be easy, but He will help us through whatever He sees fit to put in our path ♡ 


Ixchell 

  • If you aren't doing something that makes you uncomfortable or pushing yourself, then you cant expect to see yourself change 

  • On the days when you feel like you cant get out if bed, or you miss your family, or it is just s tough day, remember that someone else has felt all that you're feeling, TRUST IN THE SAVIOR'S ATONEMENT, he knows the path because he has walked it and He will continue to walk it with you every single day 


12.13.20

Jaycee Kaniho (13)

  • Service opens doors instead of mirrors reflecting only ourselves 


Bishop Durant 

  • The four phases of a man's life: (1) we believe in Santa (2) we dont believe in Santa (3) we become santa (4) we look like santa 

  • Michelle d craig - " eyes to see "

☆ We are what we choose to focus on 

☆ god will not give us anything that we are not able to handle ( my mission) 

☆ the more we work at it, the better we get at it, the task doesn't become easier, we become better 

☆ give me your eyes- Brandon h. 

♡ heavenly father has hope and faith for us even through our imperfections. They are cheering us on, "c'mon em!" - Durant 

♡see people the way mothers see their babies 

♡ Men will never understand the love that a mother has for her children 

♡ being disappointed doesn't mean we stop loving 

♡ don't wait to remember how important your mother is to you 

♡ stop.focusing on yourself & what you expect and focus on the way god sees others

♡ heavenly father doesn't give up on is, we shouldn't give up on other people either

♡ "my heroes are mothers" -durant 

( auntie Renee, Shellee Machado, auntie Lehua, hoopiis…) 

♡ as you strive to see others as god does, it will get easier. You can find peace through Gods eyes !! 

♡ if we look to god in everything, the good times get better, and the bad times arent as bad 


Wall at piology 

  • If you really want to do something. You'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse. - Jim rohn 

  • From what you get you can make a living, from what you give you can make a life - Arthur ashe 


District council 

     ☆ agency- the law of attraction, whatever you give out is what you're going to get (whatever you think is what is going to happen) 

     ☆ thoughts lead to actions 

     ☆ the only thing stopping you is YOU

     ☆ you are what you tell yourself (thoughts → feelings → actions)

     ☆ the mind & heart are SO powerful (placebo affect) 

     ☆ mentality affects your freethrows 

     ☆ if you focus on the negative, dont be surprised when life seems to suck 

     ☆ mental discipline- your mind wants to give up way way easier than your body is able- do 10 more than you think you can 

     ☆ meditation, reflection, envision success 

     ☆ YOU WANT TO BE HERE !! 

     ☆ your mind is powerful enough to make a heaven out of hell & a hell out of heaven, it is what you make it 

     ☆ joy in the journey, happiness leads to success 

     ☆ because easy doesn't change you 

     ☆ GOALS GOALS GOALS!! you cant be effective, be happy, or become better without a purpose 

     ☆ feeling fulfilled has nothing to do with your paycheck- 2 people living the same life, 1 loves it and 1 hates it 

     ☆ start measuring your success on things that you can control 

     ☆ success as a missionary is measured by your commitment 



Pres mossman 

○ be of good cheer !! 

○ our attitude is what pulls us through, it will not remove our struggles but will allow us to face our trials head on 

○ avoid getting caught up in negatives 

○ alma 7:23 - humble submissive gentle… 

○ we can be the positive for those around us 

  • Others will see your countenance and want to know more - patriarchal blessing


Uncle charlie 

♡ if the Savior asked for 15 minutes w your family would you turn him away? The missionaries are the savior's hands on the earth 


Elijah mossman 

▪︎ sometimes you just need to bear your testimony 


Seth 

☆ if you aren't finding JOY in the journey then you are missing the mark! 

☆ god wants us to be happy 



Zaleski 

》 when you want to go home, when you're losing motivation, when you dont want to share the gospel- study the atonement 

》 jesus christ is the source of all motivation 

》 if you think about how long you have left on your mission you're going to be struggling a lot 

》 look at the positive- GRATITUDE!! 

》 there is always something good, find it 

》 obedience keeps your mind straight and helps you keep your focus on your purpose 

》 your obedience is between you and the Lord 

》 look backwards instead of forward 

→ LOOK BACK AT THIS LAST TRANSFER 

       → what have you learned 

       → how can you improve for this transfer 

       → BE PROUD OF YOUR PROGRESS !! 

》 you can only love others as much as you love yourself 


         ☆ what is a successful missionary ☆

● study your patriarchal blessing and look for ways that the promises are being fulfilled 

● strengthening the ward 

● effort 

● if someone's day was better 

● leave it a little better than you found it 

● COMMITTED 

● staying positive despite circumstances 


》 write yourself a letter as if God were writing you 

》 SEE YOURSELF AS GOD SEES YOU 

     ◇ HE LOVES YOU EMMA 

     ◇ TRUST HIM !! 

》 the paradox of a mission 

    → these should not be the best 18 months OF your life but they will be the best 18 months FOR you life 



Pres mossman:

♧ the beginning is always the hardest! Hang in there 



District/Zone council 

Elder zaleski 

→ god does not cast Pearls before swine, he meet us at our understanding until we are able to understand all that he needs us to understand 

→ line upon line 

→ the hook if Mormon doesn't change, but you change as you continue to read and reread 

→ start your day off right by reading from the book of Mormon 

→ you make or break your mission between 6:30 and 10:00 

→ Holland MTC devotional on obedience and take study time serious 

→ be the missionary that your investigators deserve to here the message from 



Elder Hicken 

  • When motivation runs out, that is when discipline kicks in 

  • Go out and work, and take your mind off of other things ( you can only think about one thing at a time, be in the moment, and in the action

  • In as much as ye can send, send (full send)

  • it is hard to find motivation when you're distracted
