A new round of zone conferences started today. The theme is "The Book of Mormon" and all the adestramentos (teachings) are centered on different ways to learn from and teach from the Book of Mormon.
In addition, we are also having sections on finances and English course. During the review of the English Course, one of the elders demonstrated the proper way to teach by teaching some of the missionaries how to speak German since he lives in Germany.
Some of our missionaries really struggle when it comes to balancing their finances. They are used to having mom and dad around to help them out and it doesn't work that way on a mission. By the end of the month some of them are destitute while others still have money in the bank. Elder Bednar gave a great talk in October Conference where he talked about the importance of spending less money than you make and also having money left over to put in a savings account.
President Waddoups is talking to the missionaries about the Standards of Excellence for the Italy Rome Mission.
Your missionaries all look like tegu sure love each other.
