Zone Conference

 

Here we are at Zone Conference for the Marion zone.  After a great morning of

training and role plays, its time for lunch.  

 

And these are the wonderful senior missionaries who spoil us.  Sloppy joes taste 

mighty good to hungry missionaries.  Thank you Elder and Sister Zobrist and

Elder and Sister Larkin.

Such beautiful sister missionaries.  Always happy to be inviting all to come unto Christ.

Yay!  Finally I get photos of Elder Mueco.  He and his great companion, Elder

Skadins are serving in Mount Gambier.  We usually skype with them for trainings

is so good to see them.  We love and miss you but rejoice in the great work you

are doing in Mt. Gambier.

each have served with all of their heart, might, mind and strength. 

 

 

Elder  and Sister Jurgens had the sweet opportunity to show  3 of their family members

around this mission.  They were here for the biggest storm in 50 years so a few of

their plans were altered but still such a blessing to be here together.  We love this

beautiful family. Thank you for supporting your parents so they could serve the 

great Saints in Mildura.  

 

 

Great leaders in the Australia Adelaide Mission.

grateful for each of them.  You radiate the light of Christ  and even though we have 

some language barriers we have the same purpose-to bring souls to Christ. 

 

After delivering Sister Teriihuanui to the mission office we returned to the airport

to be there for this great sight!!!  The arrival of Elder and Sister Rohlfing from Salt Lake 

City, Utah.  Don't they look fabulous!  We are so happy they are here safe and sound.

After a very long trip, they are still smiling and we couldn't be more excited.

Their devotion to the Lord, their gifts and talents, their  wisdom and kind, fun

personalities will bless the Australia Adelaide Mission wherever they are assigned.
