Trinidad Zone Conference

Trinidad Zone Conferences are wonderful!

Partly because they are held in the handy and comfortably air conditioned mission home but mostly because the missionaries serving in Trinidad are amazing. They are good, obedient, hard working young men.

The discussions today were great. Here are a few shots of the assistants' (Elders Walker and Williamson) presentation on Sherpas (better known as area books). Did you know that missionaries learn to be organized planners and record keepers? That is quite a challenge for young men who, a year or so ago, probably didn't even pick up their socks.

According to the assistants, "The area book is like a Sherpa (mountain climbing guide)" - it knows the area and helps us achieve our goals - note Elder Williamson in mountain climbing Sherpa gear.


The Elders traded area books and then tried to plan a lesson based on a teaching record

According to President Robison

"It is the only 'she' you can hold in your arms and write letters to every night!"

After a morning of hard work and learning, we all had a treat - the Trinidad couples made a yummy lunch of hamburgers cooked on the barbecue.

Missionary couples are the best!
