Lesotho Zone Conference September 2017

Powerful Conference!

Lesotho Elders were on fire! They accepted three challenges we talked about in MLC, and every companionship shared testimony of how adhering to those three challenges had changed their lives for the better.

The common theme was when we are obedient to even the smallest of the admonitions, enormous blessings, and even miracles are the result.

Thanks to our fabulous Zone Leaders who led this zone to great success in accomplishing (and continuing) to do what has been taught. We are so blessed to have such wonderful missionaries.
