Zone Conference: February 2026
Every six weeks, we gather the mission into three separate groups for zone conference. This is an important time to strengthen the missionaries, celebrate our success, and build skills to continue to help more people come unto Christ.
In the past, while the missionaries are in zone conference, our senior missionaries conduct car inspections to keep the cars safe and clean. Sister Barlow felt we should change our process to help the missionaries be more accountable for their vehicles. They arrived 30 minutes early and helped inspect their own car and ensure fluid levels were all topped off. This worked so much better and lighted the load for our senior missionaries.
.
We began zone conference with Sister Barlow teaching us about the Doctrine of Christ, and how to use the Doctrine of Christ to get the Savior’s help in our life. She began by sharing her all-time favorite video, “Because of Him”. She taught us how pondering each step of the Doctrine of Christ can help us next steps we can take with a challenge we want to overcome or a goal to achieve. She then shared examples of how she has done this in her own life.
.
President Barlow the talked about the doctrine of the sacrament and steps we can take to help more of our friends come and worship Jesus Christ and feel His spirit each Sunday.
.
The Assistants and Zone Leadership Teams then ran three workshops:
- Creating powerful invitations through promised blessings.
- Uniting with members and using the Member Checklist.
- Creating written sacrament plans for friends.
.
In addition to the workshops, during last transfer our missionaries memorized The Living Christ, so our SMS team helped us film a new Living Christ Video that we will look forward to sharing with everyone at Easter.
The Tennessee Knoxville Mission is being blessed in remarkable ways. These missionaries have been working incredibly hard and the benefits of their efforts are seen and felt!

Welcome to New Missionaries!
Yesterday was Day 1 for 12 new missionaries in the TKM! The very first thing they did yesterday morning was head to the University of Tennessee campus with their trainers to find people to teach. We can’t wait to see the great things they accomplish!

Welcome to the TKM: February 2026
On February 4, 2026, we welcomed 19 new missionaries to the Tennessee Knoxville Mission. These missionaries are going to do great things in the TKM!
.
We also had two service missionaries join the mission in February, Elder Chugg and Elder Doherty, and we will add their pictures soon.
As always, the departing missionaries made some great welcome posters for our arriving missionaries.
.
The Farragut building was being used to measure and cut the carpet for the Tennessee Knoxville Temple, so we met at the West Hills building for our new missionary orientation.
.
The highlight of the morning is announcing who will be training our new missionaries. We have great trust in these trainers and know they will give their best efforts to helping our new missionaries get off to a great start.
| New Missionary | Trainer | Area |
| Elder Conover | Elder Johnson | Asheville Central |
| Elder Godfrey | Elder Call | Signal Mountain |
| Elder DeNamur | Elder Dodge | House Mountain |
| Elder Stradling | Elder Potter | Marion Branch |
| Elder Dye | Elder Frewin | Sevierville SP |
| Elder James | Elder Carley/Elder Gooch | Spring Creek |

There is an incredible transition happening in the Tennessee Knoxville Mission. 19 new missionaries with 21 trainers = 40 missionaries engaged in training with this group. With the 58 missionaries still involved in training from last transfer, we have 98 missionaries involved in training! That’s just under half the mission.
.
Looking forward to seeing the great things these missionaries accomplish win the TKM!
