Planning Makes Perfect.

It was wonderful to listen in on the planning sessions. I was overwhelmed with the spirituality of the companionships and their attention to detail. It was a joy to see the love they had for the people that they serve.

Sweet Hour of Prayer!

Zone Conference Cyprus.

In Cyprus we worked on Weekly Planning. It was a time of  prayer and thoughtful dialogue between companionships.

A Great Zone!

Elder and Sister Asplund Lead couple for The Centre for Young Adults in Europe.

Elder and Sister Asplund kindly took time out of their busy schedule to speak about the missionaries role at Centres for Young Adults. We loved having them attend part of the Zone Conference.

Thank you Sister Davis!

Elder and Sister Davis worked so hard today as they paricipated in Zone Conference. They acted as observers while planning took place, and in between provided us with the most delicious lunch. We had Sloppy Joes and salad, and Brownies made by Sister Andros. They say an army marches on its stomach, todays sustenance allows us to keep marching with a spring in our step.

Still Planning!

They sorted records, cleaned up area books, worked on maps and kept their focus throughout the day.

Still in the Zone!

The missionaries talked with a sincere love about those people that they serve. Their desire to help bring people closer to the Lord is great and their focus at times was exceptional.
