Wow!  It was so hard to see these missionaries leave.  Some very hard working missionaries and it is hard to let them go.  We are so grateful for their dedicated service and they will be missed.

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We also hope you all took time to count your blessings and be grateful for what the Lord has blessed you with.

                                          DeLand Zone
                                          Leesburg Zone
                                          Orlando Zone

This Zone Conference was a special gathering of the Florida Orlando Mission.  The missionaries came prepared for the messages and training from Elder and Sister Zwick.  Because of their preparation we were blessed with an outpouring of the Spirit.  It was one of the most significant events in the mission during our service.  May we reflect often on the mercies and blessings we felt that day.

ZONE LEADERS COUNCIL

Zone Leaders Council's are the best! We are able to council and discuss issues pertaining to the FOM. There is also accounting, reporting and training and assignments. We all learn and contribute and work together. Great things happen.

ARRIVALS

It is such a privilege to serve with each missionary that comes to the FOM. As we send missionaries home we reflect on their goodness and great contributions to this work. As new missionaries arrive we see in their eyes the excitement and anticipation of serving the Lord Jesus Christ. As hard as it is for us we love the spirit and strength of arrivals and departures.

I think one of the blessings of missionary work is to be able to see things as they really are. To really understand the piece of the mission that each departing missionary contributed, and what really they accomplished during their ministry. In short to see what God sees. We love all, past, present and future missionaries of this great work.
