ZONE CONFERENCES IN JUNE



 

NIIGATA ZONE



This round of Zone Conferences, we invited our Area Doctors to do some training with our missionaries.  Elder and Sister Landro (front left) is the mental health doctor and Elder and Sister Eliason (front right) the physical health doctor.

Pres. ???, District President in Niigata came and spoke to the missionaries briefly.

 

 

Zone Leaders during their training.  Elder Kano and Elder Miller

President Rasmussen is always welcoming and warm.

The Niigata Relief Society provided lunch for us.  They always prepare many dishes and lots of it.

Elder Carter and Sister Stubbs are full after lunch!!

Shortly after lunch, the missionaries always get sleepy so to wake them up and get "blood flowing in them" again, we do Rajio Tieso  which is an exercise session that  Japanese people do every morning at 6:30 AM on the TV or Radio.  The American or foreign missionaries are always amazed the first time they do it but it is fun and wakes up the group.

Notes taken on the board as we talked about "FINDING".

At the end of the day, the missionaries presented Gary and me with a delightful book of pictures and messages from the Niigata Missionaries.  It will always be precious to us.

Before the conference started, the Yonezawa District all put on their "look alike" T-shirts which said something about the Yonezawa Dream Team and took a group picture together.  Elder and Sister Kimura are new in the mission and are loved already by their district.  The District Leader is Elder Chipman who is doing a fabulous job leading his District.



President Saito (Center), Gary's Counselor in the Mission Presidency, comes to Zone Conferences in Koriyama.  We love and appreciate him so much. These two men really love each other.
