All Mission Conference July 8, 2010

This month had a wonderful mission conference to bring the new Kobe Mission together. We met at the Kobe stake center. It was not easy getting all 150 of us in one picture! One unique blessing of the mission change was the addition of Sister Matsuoka to the Japan Kobe Mission. Her younger brother, Elder Matsuoka, has already been serving in Kobe and now they are in the same mission! Elder Matsuoka returns home in August, but they will be able to say they both served together in the Japan Kobe Mission.

We have increased in our number of sister missionaries. Here is a picture of the Kobe Sisters at the conference! The all mission conference was a special event to remembered by all in attendance. We were happy to have a couple of our stake presidents attend with us as well.

At our recent zone conferences we asked members to join us and let the missionaries practice teaching them lessons. We practiced committing people to come to church, accept baptism and read and pray about the Book of Mormon.
Missionaries also worked in their zones and practiced with each other as well.
