Zone Leaders leaving for Zone Conference
The President called today to say that one of the Elders’ sister had been killed. She was ten years old. She and a friend were playing with a gun and it went off. The bullet lodged in her head and she passed away shortly thereafter. The Elder was very close to his sister. She was his only sister and he baptized her. This Elder had just arrived in the field in March. Even though he is not a Zone Leader, the President had his companion drive him to the conference so that he could tell him in person. A death is never easy, but to know that we can see our loved ones again, helps a lot. This young man’s family are strong and they will probably ask him to stay out in the mission. Sometimes that is better.
As I said referred to in the above paragraph, today was Zone Conference for each of the mission Zone Leaders. NOTE: A mission is divided into Zones; Districts; and Areas. The leadership consists of the President; the Assistants to the President; Zone Leaders; District Leaders; Trainers. The Zone Leaders are trained and given instruction by the President and whomever he asked to teach. They came into our office today to get the mission van so that they could all go together and save miles. NOTE: Each mission vehicle is allotted a certain number of miles.
