Rome West Zone - June 2015

The Rome West Zone became the second zone in the Italy Rome Mission to receive Ipads. To say they were excited would be an understatement.

"An Ipad is not the center of why you are here."

--President Waddoups

The Zone Leaders taught a section on achieving the new Standards of Excellence.

"If you become comfortable outside your comfort zone,

your opponent won't even want to follow you there."

The Sister Training Leaders lead a discussion on a talk given by Elder M. Russell Ballard encourage the missionaries to become a CREATOR OF CIRCUMSTANCES instead of a creature of circumstances.

"By being able to control what we put in this mind of ours, we determine our own lives.

"As we sow, so shall we reap". We can see how important it is to sow the right beginning thoughts. Another interesting fact about our minds is that we can only entertain one thought at a time. Therefore, your destiny may be determined by one single thought, and it is up to you

whether you make it positive or negative. Think baptism and you will baptize.

Your actions, attitude, mission and life will be directed by your thoughts."

--Elder Ballard
