East London Zone Training and Interviews with President Merrill

We had Zone Training and Interviews with the East London Zone today.  The Zone leaders Training was good and the Elders were thrilled to finally be able to meet their new Mission President. 

President Merrill taught using the feeling of Lehi as he taught his children “with all the feeling of a tender parent”.  He sought a commitment from the Elders to raise their game and become obedient missionaries.

Sister Thomas prepared Sloppy Joes, Sister Wheeler made an awesome potato salad which was a recipe with a secret sauce.  We twisted her arms and she shared this with us.  Sister Chase made some triple Chocolate Brownies along with some Vanilla Ice Cream.  The Elders went away very full and very happy.
