Mission Leadership Council - April 2015
April 29, 2015
The Mission Leadership Council met in Rome the day after Elder Bednar's Technology Conference. All the missionaries were already in Rome and the timing was perfect. Everyone was already on a spiritual high from the day before. This was the best Capi Conference (Leadership Council) we have had.
We talked about principles we had learned from the Mission Conference that was held a month ago and the things we had learned from Elder Bednar and discussed ways to implement these teachings in the mission, in each zone, and in the lives of every missionary.
The white handbook contains guidelines for life, not just for the mission.
Our purpose says to invite others to come unto Christ. This means not only non-members, but members and missionaries, too.
All missionaries, including "greenies", should prepare right now to become leaders in the mission.
When doing exchanges with other missionaries in their zone, leaders should listen to the spirit. Don't just find new investigators and hand them over, but teach each missionary to find his own investigators. Help strengthen the testimony of each missionary.

Missionary Purpose
Invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end.
Our purpose says to invite others to come unto Christ. This means not only non-members, but members and missionaries, too.
Leaders can't be powerful leaders unless they are obedient.
All missionaries, including "greenies", should prepare right now to become leaders in the mission.
The entire mission should move in the same direction.
When doing exchanges with other missionaries in their zone, leaders should listen to the spirit. Don't just find new investigators and hand them over, but teach each missionary to find his own investigators. Help strengthen the testimony of each missionary.
Always return and report.

Elder Bednar Technology Conference
April 28, 2015
This is the first, and probably the only, time all of the missionaries of the Italy Rome Mission have met together in the same room at the same time. The mission is huge and travel and lodging were very problematic, but miraculously it all came together. Kudos to the office missionaries and assistants who put in countless hours to make it all work.
It's not every day that the mission has an apostle and two general authorities and their wives visit--especially on the same day. This was a memorable conference.
All the missionaries were excited to have the opportunity to hear from Elder Bednar. The purpose of the mission was to prepare the missionaries for the introduction of mini Ipads that will soon be coming to our mission. Very little was said about Ipads, but much was said about obedience, listening to the spirit, avoiding evil, and learning the importance of using technology properly so when they go home they will continue to use technology to bless their lives and avoid the pitfalls that can be associated with it.
