One of the great joys of being senior missionaries is the opportunity to work with young elders and sisters. On Friday of this week we had the opportunity of attending Zone 3 conference, which is the north Brooklyn area. Our mission president Calderwood and his two capable assistants were also in attendance. They, along with the two zone leaders, organized and conducted the conference. There are 26 missionaries in our zone.
The spirit was great, the talks were wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed the day. One of our assignments was provide lunch for the entire zone. But Sister Temney did her normally capable job, and everyone was well fed. One of my jobs was to go outside and feed the parking meter every hour so we would not get a parking ticket!
During the last hour every missionary stood and bore their testimony. We are impressed with the preparation and dedication of these fine young missionaries.
We have connected well with all the missionaries in our zone. In some ways we feel like their substitute mom and dad, or more appropriately as their grandma and grandpa.
This work is great and we love it.
