Busy Day Picking up the Post and District Meeting

Today was a busy day.  It began on a trip to the airport to pick up the post.  Then we had to open it and separate it into Districts so we could deliver it to the Elders before District meetings.  We were able to do this but next week we will have to get an earlier start.

Once the post was delivered, we met up with the Elders for district meetings.  We had called prior and asked Elder Hixon who is one of the District Leaders in the East London Zone if we could attend with his district.

The training was lead by Elder Roeloffze and we had a good training where his questions were addressed directly to those in attendance and, as a result, all were involved.  He also extracted a commitment to undertake better planning through prayer with the individual being mentioned.  It was a good meeting.

We were able to deliver some post to these Elders and to surprise Elder Ellingson with his package.  He was excited and had to open the box before district meeting started.  It was filled with all types of goodies  - well done to the Ellingson family. 

We watched some training videos during the district meeting and Elder Ellingson insisted that we all get one or two Junior Mints to eat during the “Movie”.  He shared with the biggest smile on his face.

That is Elder Ellingson with his package being face bombed by Elder Hixon.  The pictures of the District in the upper left are as follows:  Elder Hixon, Sister Thomas, Elder Moliki, Elder Roeloffze and Elder Ellingson.  It was a chilly day as you can see from Sister Thomas’ wrap.
