The North American Southeast Area mission presidents' seminar was held in Orlando.  On Thursday we went to a session at the Orlando Temple.  Then we stayed Thursday and Friday night at the Swan Hotel on Disney Property where we received instruction from Elder Rasband President of the Seventy, Elder Gonzalez, Elder Nash, Elder Kopischke and Brother Watson of the missionary department.

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.
