Mission Leadershp Skype Call

Today we have the Mission Leadership Skype call.  We had the Zone Leaders come to our place at 9:00 and we fed them a big breakfast with waffles, hash browns, eggs, bacon and chopped fruit.  One of Sister Thomas' best.

This was the first Skype call with President and Sister Merrill.  It was thrilling to watch the mantle of responsibility fall upon President Merrill.  I was especially mindful of his desire to have the Elders understand the principles behind each mission rule and several times during the meeting he stopped to make sure the Elders understood the principles behind the issues being discussed.

He also stressed that he needed this leadership group to help prepare all Elders in the mission to be not only successful in the mission but be fully prepared to be a success in life.
