Adventure Travel: Living in Johannesburg

This is the best article I have read about Johannesburg. I agree with everything said after living here for almost 3 years.  I hope to spread the news and continue to be an enthusiastic ambassador for Joburg. I love this place- it is really grown on me each day.

Soweto Zone

held in the Roodepoort Chapel

It is nice to have a smaller group to interact with...and to conduct interviews.

Our "One Word" workshop was so meaningful today!

It has been fun this week to have the missionaries prepare the lunch as part of a "lunch workshop" They do a great job and we end by discussing ways to make a lunch that is 1)quick 2)nutritious and delicious 3)relatively inexpensive

First week of Jan '17 Zone Conferences

On Tuesday January 17, 2017 we gathered with the Benoni Zone for a zone conference and interviews. It was a great way to start the New Year.

Thanks for all the help loading all our things in-
Elder Gramu, Elder Ebite, Elder Khwela, Elder Jangao,  Elder Randri

Elder Engrom and Elder Masiya arrive and offer to help!

We started off with a discussion about New Year's resolutions and a great presentation by President Dunn.

The outline for the day was shared. After this opening presentation we split into districts and had missionaries rotate through three workshops, while everyone rotated through a personal interview with President Dunn.

I conducted a worshop that focused on choosing "One Word" for the Year in place of resolutions. Each missionary shared a word that could be a guiding one for them throughout the year and why.
We also distributed new cleaning supplies and did car inspections and discussion about starting the year off with a goal of cleanliness.

The Assistants each offered a workshop
Topics:

1- Mission Wide Goals and how they relate to each missionary
2- Our new and improved daily schedule

 

Lunch was actually made by the missionaries today and we had one more workshop on how to make healthy, fast and good lunches. 

With the new daily schedule it is even more important to be able to pack a lunch and take it with you. Everyone shared ideas they have for how to have lunch inexpensive, yet better and quicker to make.
Day 1:
Great day with the Benoni Zone.
