Trainer and Trainee Meeting

With such a large proportion of the mission being new

missionaries, trainer/trainee meeting has become

even more important.  We extended the usual time for

the meeting to give increased training.  

This is a big new group of missionaries. 

Of course no one minded that we also added lunch. 

Enjoying time together.

New brothers!

Elder Patterson was a wounded warrior for a bit. 

A Little Bit of MLC

Sometimes there's so much going on at MLC the photographer

gets distracted.  This MLC was just worked just as hard

and did just as much, but there are few photos to show for the day!

We take these "casual" photos all the time, but we never publish them.  Since there are so 

few photos of MLC this time, we'll throw this one in...

After the day was over and the photographer (me) realized

there were few photos she snapped a couple last minute.  

Companions wearing matching ties to MLC happens often.

The sisters hadn't really planned matching clothes, but not to

be outdone by the elders they wanted their "matching" 

picture taken also.  

There's No Place Like Zone (Conference)!

When President and Sister Mullen went to the most recent 

Mission Presidents' Seminar they learned that the number of zone 

conferences and interviews will now double.  

Zone conferences will be held every six weeks rather

than every three months.  The same will be true for interviews.  

Sister Mullen had better catch up fast or she will soon be doubly behind.  

So, without much fuss here are the photos 

from the most recent zone conference.  

Zone Photos

 

Luncheons

Saying "Thank You!" to those who

prepared lunch.  

Singing our appreciation also.  

Fun photos!

A selfie always draws a crowd...

which invariably gets bigger!

Down to Business

In addition to group photos, fun photos, selfies and lunch, 

zone conferences really are about learning to do the work.

Reviewing the Area Books. 

Members who came to help the elders and sister

practice talking with others while contacting

on the street. 

This family has a son/brother serving a mission.

They all came to help with the practice.

Elder Sy and Elder Young role play.
