One of the major highlights of our year was the July Zone Conference. We had the opportunity to take one half of the mission at a time into the beautiful Colorado Mountains where we were able to learn and grow from one another. With the theme of this conference as "Altar Your Attitude" and with matching shirts these missionaries begin the hike at Ragged Mountain preparing for the Altar that awaits their sacrifices.

Along with this Zone Conference's Theme of "Altar your Attitude" we learned about sacrificing everything we have to the Lord. Along our hike each missionary picked up a rock to build an altar at the end of the trail. After returning from their personal study each rock portrayed a word or scripture representing their sacrifices as missionaries.
Each missionary had some personal time where they could sit alone, ponder, and receive some revelation.
There is beauty all around when there are SISTERS there!!!
A group shot of half of the mission. We sure do love these missionaries!
Events like this create life time buddies!
With the help of our wonderful assitants we were well prepared for a transformational zone conference! (LtoR President Christison, Elder Garland, Elder Sillitoe, Elder George, and Sister Christison)
After time to themselves and a great hike, the missionaries were able to receive inspiring words from the President. He spoke about putting everything on the altar of sacrifice.
The missionaries had personal time to study and review their mission attitudes.
