Mission Leadership Team Dinner


Mission Leadership Council 

starts with a team dinner!




Playing while everyone arrives!

 A little soccer and basketball at the mission home while everyone arrives!


 I provide the ingredients, and the missionaries divide into teams to make dinner!

 We apply our efforts in making dinner toward missionary work and being unified!



 I had to put this picture in of our dear Gertrude! She works at the mission home!
Don't know what we would do without her!

 I wonder what they are going to make?

 Sister McAtee, Sister Dent, and Elder Ah Sam

 What will this team make as their contribution to the dinner, I wonder?

 Looks chocolatey! Yum!

 Another team is busy creating something good!


 A little cleanup!

 Looks like a feast!

 Good job Elders!

 How does working in teams, creating this wonderful dinner relate to our missionary work?

 Our teams represent the Zones in the mission, and the creating of something good to share is the feast we can all partake of!

 Elder Ah Sam

 Now, comes council and and spiritual message!

 Elders Hinnen and Ah Sam

 Elders Lopez-Palaez and Nichols

Time for a hymn!

The Zone Leaders will stay in the bunkhouse tonight, and we will all move to the Pinetown Chapel in the morning for our day long Mission Leadership Council! We take cereal, yogurt, muffins and fruit to the chapel for breakfast, and then the office couples provide lunch for us!
