I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy. Alma 29:9

Zone Conference

Kyle had his first zone conference a few weeks ago. He mentioned, in his previous letters, how he really enjoyed it. Here are a few things he mentioned...

* No more knocking doors! They talked to the missionaries about relying on the members for help in finding investigators. It helps the new members stay more active once they're baptized if they have friends who have followed them through their conversion. Kyle said he'd still be knocking doors, but they won't have to knock entire streets.

* He was able to listen to Brother Pieper of the 70 talk about the atonement. Kyle mentioned that listening to Brother Pieper really helped increase his testimony of the atonement.

* And I'm sure the best part of zone conference...he was able to pick up a package that his mom had sent him several weeks earlier. All packages have to be sent priority mail, or he has to wait for zone conference to pick them up. Thankfully he didn't have to wait too long :)
