We are so sorry we missed our Zone Conference where Elder Rowley, (our Zone Leader), gave his parting testimony. He is a tremendous leader and inspired missionary from Boise, Idaho. We have learned much from him and will miss him in the mission, but look forward to seeing him in Rexburg for the Fall Semester at BYU Idaho. Last Wednesday he attended the temple with President and Sister Bennion, and all the other departing missionaries.
It was good to get back to our district and we are amazed at how fast this transfer has gone. We hear we are loosing Elder Pickett, our District Leader. He has been a great cheerleader in the work, so encouraging and appreciative of all. We will welcome new zone and district leaders.
Elder Pickett organizes and outlines each meeting for us. We have loved his creativity!
Elders Norris and Flores taught an outstanding lesson on how to introduce people to the blessings of the temple and being forever families. We role-played different situations Elder Norris has experienced as a missionary. He is a wonderful trainer. It's clear new Elder Flores has learned a great deal this transfer. We hope we get to keep these two for one more transfer!
We provided a fresh fruit medley and breakfast burritos. It was easy and enjoyed by all. We have learned to simplify...no one really cares if we have a tablecloth, they just want to eat!
Elder Rowley climbed on a soapbox, (chair) and preached to all of us. He was really good! We said, "Call BYU Studios, we've got a star." Whatever Elder Rowley does, he does well. All the missionaries made arrangements to call their Moms for Mother's Day today. To all of those Moms everywhere that have sons and daughters serving as missionaries we know how much you have looked forward to today. We hope you feel honored and blessed because of your missionaries. We think they are all so choice and thank the Lord for their goodness each day. Thanks for sending and supporting them. We hear often about how much they love their families.
