Zone Conference Day 2
at Bedfordview
On Wednesday March 11th, we got up early, tried to beat the Johannesburg early morning commute and get to Bedfordview to greet the Vaal, Benoni, Bedfordview Zones for an 8 am start time.
It is a big effort for all the missionaries to negotiate traffic and be there on time for the pre-session. This pre-session is a talk by President Uchtdorf that we heard at the mission President Seminar last June.
This talk primes the Elders for the sessions that begin at 9 am.

We have a great group of Elders that gathered together. This was a great day at Bedfordview.
| Started our day in the chapel with an opening session with President Dunn. He discussed a great case study called Sister Susan Fulcher. |
Everyone enjoyed this topic as it gave many ideas on how to work more closely and positively with members. President Dunn is a great facilitator and he makes presentations run so smoothly.
Thanks to our amazing Senior Couples who plan, prepare and serve up lunch and breaks. Elder and Sister Thompson, Elder and Sister Allred really have made such a difference in making everything efficient. They are so committed and wonderful to work with.

ReplyDeleteGreat pictures…glad we could be at this conference.
ReplyDeleteWhat an immense undertaking - but I am sure that the missionaries had their batteries recharged and their lamps filled! On behalf of our son, thank you. It does my heart good to see his smiling face.
