ORLANDO SOUTH ZONE

DELAND ZONE

ORLANDO ZONE

LEESBURG ZONE
The missionaries invite the spirit by coming prepared spiritually to Zone Conference.
In Doctrine and Covenants 50. The Lord tells us to preach His gospel by the spirit. Later in the section, verse 22 "Wherefore, he that preacheth and he that receiveth, understand one another, and both are edified and rejoice together." Both teacher and student are edified together when the spirit is the teacher. Elder Russell M. Nelson - "It doesn't matter whose lips are moving when the spirit is speaking." This happens all the time as missionaries. That is what we teach, The spirit is the teacher, the Lord is guiding this work. He won’t allow us to fail. All things must be done according to the spirit or it will fail. We are ever grateful for the presence of the spirit in our zone conferences.

FLORIDA ORLANDO MISSION HISTORY

Florida has a deep Mormon heritage, going back as far as 1843. Traveling elders were occasionally sent into Florida until the Florida conference was officially organized November 1, 1895, which conference was within the Southern States Mission. In 1937, the first chapel in central Florida was built in Orlando. In 1950, the church established what is now officially called Deseret Cattle and Citrus Ranch in Osceola County, southeast of Orlando. Today the Church owns 316,000 acres covering three counties, making it the largest cattle ranch in Florida. Orlando was the second Florida stake, and was organized on February 23, 1958.

On November 1, 1960 the Florida Mission was created out of the Southern States Mission. This was the fist mission for the State of Florida. The original Florida mission was divided into the Florida South Mission July 1, 1971, then later into the Ft. Lauderdale Mission (June 1974); the Tampa Mission being created in 1976, and the Jacksonville Mission in July of 1987.

The Florida Orlando Mission is now graced to have within its boundaries the Church Ranch and the first temple of the church in Florida, the Orlando Temple.
