Vaal District Conference

On Sunday November 27, 2016 we participated in the Vaal District Conference. This is special for us because as a district the Vaal falls under the Mission. The hope when the Vaal was created as a Stake over 15 months ago, was that it would grow to be a Stake in the near future.

The Vaal district Presidency is joined by President Dunn of the SA Johannesburg Mission and also Elder Jacques Armand Van Reenen, the Area Seventy who presided over the District Conference this weekend

People gather early and linger ling after the conference. There is a such a good feeling among the members. Enjoy the pictures that follow of all the good members and investigators that gathered together.

Sister Robison serves in the Sebokeng branch and here we are pictured with her primary president and long time friend.

Elder and Sister Robison make an impact whereever they are!

It is great to see this campaign being launched and advertised in the chapels.

The Mukonda family is a strength to the Vaal District. Daniel, the father, is the District Young Men's President  and he does so much for and with the missionaries. He is a role model for all the returned missionaries also.

Elder Adams with one of the small, yet powerful members of the District.

These members do "Light the World" with their love and testimonies.

As well as our beloved zone leaders, Elder Mugenyi and Elder Adams. 

Look what a darling dad I met with his beautiful two little daughters. Does it get any cuter?

We loved our week-end spent at the Vaal District Conference. It was edifying in every way. We both spoke at both meetings and loved the chance to hear other talks. I will post our talks here (in the next few days) for the annual history.
