District Leader - 29 April 2019

Michael was called to be a district leader in his zone. This is an awesome responsibility and great way for him to continue developing leadership skills while he is on his mission.

“Our leaders were mighty men in the faith of the Lord; and they taught the people the ways of the Lord” (Jarom 1:7).

Mission presidents assign missionary leaders to help him direct the work and to help the other missionaries successfully fulfill your purpose. Among the leadership assignments in the mission are trainers, senior companions, district leaders, zone leaders, and assistants to the president. Leadership assignments are opportunities to serve others, to develop greater love, and to learn. Among the most important training opportunities are companionship planning sessions, district meetings, and zone conferences. In these meetings, senior companions, district leaders, and zone leaders, under the direction of the mission president, train the missionaries and coordinate the work. Normally at least once every transfer cycle, a district leader works with each elder in his district and zone leaders work with district leaders in their zone. District leaders interview baptismal candidates taught by other missionaries in their district (including those taught by zone leaders in the district).

So far, Michael has been a trainer and now a district leader. So proud of him.
