Phuthaditjhaba and Bloemfontein Zone Conference in Bethlehem

Another combined Zone Conference was a success!

 Elder Jewkes

 What a great group of missionaries!!!

 Elders Motlhankanyane, Shaw, Wilson birthday recognition!

 I prepared a matching game - the theme was having good manners. We learned what Elders should do in our mission to exemplify good manners.

 President brought Elder Hinnen up front and they told a story of a teaching experience they had together. A woman was distraught when a couple of family members had recently died, and the missionaries came to her house. They listened to her, and testified of the Book of Mormon. They underlined three verses that might help her, and one of them wrote his testimony in the front. They invited her to read the scriptures they had underlined and told her they would come back. President Thompson was visiting these Elders and went with them to their next appointment with her. They walked in, expecting to still see her feeling sad, but instead she was thrilled and happy - her countenance exuded joy.  She told them she had read the verses, plus she had been reading the Book every day. She said that the book had changed her life! She said that she sleeps with the book! She said that it brought her enormous comfort!  They taught her the plan of salvation, and she said that she wanted to learn more and be baptized! The Book of Mormon is changing lives!
