The goal for this round of zone conferences is to help the missionaries become more effective teachers.
The Assistants taught ways to give the first lesson in 3 to 5 minutes and then did role playing with the other missionaries to help them gain more confidence in doing it. The Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leader demonstrated how to effectively teach the lesson in 30 to 35 minutes.
As they discussed different ways to present the Restoration, one elder told how his seminary teacher took a pass-a-long card and tore it in half and presented only half of the card to someone and then explained that half a card contained part of the truth, but in order to understand the whole truth, you had to have the whole card.
Another elder told how he had a home teaching partner who taught the significance of the Restoration by telling the story of a potter who made a dish with a picture of Christ on it. He gave it to a friend who hung it on a wall for all to see and enjoy. One day the dish fell off the wall and shattered into many pieces. People passing by hurried to gather up the pieces, but as hard as they tried they could not restore the picture because some of the pieces had simply been lost. It was determined that the only way to get the same picture was to go back to the potter who had originally created the dish and ask him to make a new dish with the same picture on it.

| He sang "Did You Think to Pray". Someday when I die, he can sing that song at my funeral because I want my legacy to be "I believe in the power of prayer." |
