Getting To Know Some Missionaries...

Sister Zaun arrived on Saturday, June 14. She comes to us from Hamburg, Germany. What an asset she is going to be. She carries a very strong spirit and is so anxious to be useful to her Heavenly Father. Sister Brumage, her companion, picked her up Saturday evening and they were off to Albany.

Sister Brumage and Sister Zaun.

This picture is primarily for President and Sister Bowman. These are the office people...and what a great group they are. Elder Murray (cars), Elder Morgan (assistant), Elder Poole (referrals), Elder D. Smith (training Elder Poole and then going back out in the field), Sister Eastman (mission secretary), Elder Tanner (assistant) and Elder Eastman (financial secretary...along with anything else that needs doing). The young elders work in the office part time and then proselyte. The Eastmans are in the office full time. We couldn't get along without any of them....and the young elders are working on keeping a neat office! Progress is being made.

Douglas Zone Conference

The Douglas Zone Conference was held on June 12. During this round of Zone Conferences President trained on being a disciple of Christ. I spoke on learning by faith. Augusta and Savannah Zone Conferences will be next week. I'll post pictures of them toward the end of the week.

Elder Takapu gave President and me each a lava-lava. I can't wait to see President in his! Also, pictured is his companion Elder Robertson.

Elder Clark has a weakness for cookies. He's pictured here with the assistants, Elder Morgan and Elder Tanner, who did a great job with training. Elder Tanner spoke about making sure we don't allow Satan to poison us by degrees...see Alma 47; and Elder Morgan reviewed with us some of the attributes Captain Moroni possessed...see Alma 48.

Macon Zone Conference...

Macon Zone Conference was held June 10. Somehow, Elder and Sister Eastman evaded my camera. I'll get them later.... All these pics were taken at lunch time and the missionaries were all into "posing."

Albany Zone Conference

The Albany Zone Conference was held on June 11. After I got these pictures posted I realized I didn't have Sister Chatterley or Elder Hutchison in any of them. You can see Sister Chatterley in the background on one of the lunch pictures, but I don't know where Elder Hutchison was...usually he's right in front of my camera! I will find an older pic and get it posted! He was there and he did a great job in skills practice...... Guess what...I found him, and it's not an older pic, it was taken on June 11.

Elders Rice and Hutchison.

Elders McCarty, Joseph Hall and Diaz....with Elder Spendlove in the background.

Elders Chatterley, Hickman and Kunz.

Sister Moyes and Elder Spendlove.

Elders Joseph Hall and Carlson.

Sisters Green and Drinkall with Elders Genck, Spendlove and Hartley in the background.

We had them all bring a tie for us to add to our missionary quilt. We didn't cut any of them because they're not going anywhere...for awhile at least. Elders Cadman, Park, Ramsten, Diaz, Garner, Godfrey and Sandoval.

Lunch time!...Elders Rice, Diaz, Park, Hickman, Forbes, Hartley and Parker.
