Sardegna Zone Conference

November 12, 2013

Book of Mormon.  Book of Mormon.  Book of Mormon.

The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that the Book of Mormon is the "keystone of our religion" (introduction to the Book of Mormon).  On  another occasion he stated:  "Take away the Book of Mormon and the revelations and where is our religion?  We have none" (History of the Church, 2:52).
Preach My Gospel, pg. 103 

We started each zone conference by singing all the verses to Book of Mormon stories.

The zone leaders wanted to impress upon everyone the importance of presenting the teachings of the Book of Mormon correctly.  This resulted in a piece of cake (something sweet and delicious) being smashed on the face of one of the elders.

President Sonna, a counselor in the Mission Presidency, lives on the island of Sardegna and the missionaries love him.

During the section on teaching English, we had one of our missionaries whose native tongue is Swedish teach the missionaries how to speak Swedish.

President Waddoups talked about the Standards of Excellence (or goals) for the Italy Rome Mission.  The goal is to baptize 40 people per month.  The goal is double what it has been, but we can do it--after all, we have the Lord on our side!
