Vaal Zone
 |
| Here is the opening schedule for the day. We had Elder Rini conducting and offered a keynote session and also 3 workshops. The keynote had a fun surprise. The Schulte's were recently baptized and they came and offered personal insights and experiences about their own journey. They shared how the missionaries helped them to make and keep commitments. |
|
 |
| Vanessa and Jurgen Schulte: Special Guest Speakers |
 |
| WE love these two and have been so honored to be part of their journey and look forward to sharing more to come as they work towards their temple endowment in a year. |
 |
| Three workshops followed: |
 |
| The Purification Challenge facilitated by Elder Olson and Elder Worton |
 |
| The Elders really enjoyed this session and the program that it launches starting September 16th. |
My session was focused on the temple and family history as a central part of missionary work.
 |
| Elder Douglas Peterson is our area mental health expert. He offered a session on reducing stress and gave many great tips and skills. |
 |
| Lunch reduces stress! Elder Masoka making a sandwich out of his lasagna and salad lunch! |

| This is always a nice time to visit and relax a bit. We all enjoy lunch and appreciate the help of our senior couples in putting it all together. |
