3rd Mission Conference

Elder Blanchard, One of the Assistants to the Pres. (AP') Sister Searle says that he was so shy when he first came out on his mission. Now he is a giant among men, So vibrant and excited with the work.
Doug was impressed with Elder Bishoff who putted from the farthest point for 4 out of 4 hole in one.

We love Mission Conference. We travel 30 miles north of us. We had an awesome time. Testimony meeting right before lunch is my favorite. This generation is such a force for good for Heavenly Father. They are incredible. The strong witness they bare is amazing. After lunch training was fun. They rotated to three different workshops. We helped in the AP's workshop. Doug ran the golf putting. I just enjoyed taking pictures of the event. President and Sister Searle each had workshops in different areas.

First, in companionships you had to answer the questions on a paper. Every question had to do with Preach My Gospel book. After correcting their answers, you took the number of correct answers and had the opportunity to shoot baskets or putt at golf for that amount of times. You received points for the made shots. Some of these young men are very good at shooting baskets or putting. After everyone rotated to all workshops, all points were tallied in each Zone and then divided by the number of companionships in that Zone. We came in second by 1 point. The winning Zone got a Pizza party. It is fun to sit back and observe this righteous army learn, work and play together.
