Elder and Sister Wong -- Cambodia Mission Tour

One of the great things about being missionaries is gathering regularly along with the other missionaries for District meeting and Zone Conference. Today was a special treat to have Zone Conference as part of a mission visit from Elder Chi Hong Wong of the Seventy, along with his wife.

Zone Conference started at noon so we had the morning to try to catch up with some of immediate needs at the office. We also had a 12:30 web meeting with the Asia Area Self-Reliance team, so we had to excuse ourselves after lunch and missed being in the group photo and the first part of the meeting. Sister Thurston graciously kept our camera and took a shot of the group, so Elder Thurston is pointing showing where she should be.

The training was phenomenal. We are so blessed to be taught by such powerful leaders. Elder Wong's message throughout the meeting had a theme of stones. He referred to story of David and Goliath and asked how many stones David took with him, and how many he needed. After asking why David took 5 stones, but only needed one. His message was that we need to be prepared then allow the Lord to give direction in the details of what he must do. He also spoke of the stones mentioned in the Book of Ether. The brother of Jared brought 16 stones, 2 for each barge. Then asked if we had ever considered that we might be one of those stones. We need to be the light for others.

Sister Wong taught that the most important message we may receive is the prompting or whisperings of the spirit that were not part of the spoken message.


After that meeting the senior couples were invited to have dinner with Elder and Sister Wong at the Patio Restaurant. What a marvelous day! We have been fed both physically and spiritually today!
