Suprise Mission Conference Visit

A subway train full of missionaries, awesome sight!
Olmstead Zone waiting for the subway, heading to Manhattan to Mission Conference.

New 5 floor stake center on 87th street where Mission Conference was.

What an awesome experience we enjoyed. A re-scheduled Mission Conference brought our whole mission together in Down town Manhattan. We usually meet in two groups. The Northern part and the Southern part. This was a first since President Searle has been Mission President. The reason for combining the two was a surprise visit from President Uchtdorf. He was here in New York Vacationing with his wife and his twin grandsons who just received their mission call to Taiwan, two separate different missions. We sat in Zones and our Zone was right up front by the door that he entered. We were right on the front row. We all had the opportunity to shake President and Sister Uchtdorf's hand. It was definately the hi-lite of our mission thus far. A once in a life-time opportunity.
