Trinidad Zone Conference

We finished the April/May mission tour in Trinidad today.

After doing this six times...

we've seen quite a bit of planning practice









It's impressive

The assistants came up with yet another interesting object lesson - this time it was a four man push up that required using all the 'tools'

After one failed attempt and then a little planning - the elders showed us their coordinated strength



Elder Cottam got a nice surprise when Elder Gossai arrived from Guyana towards the end of zone conference. Elder Gossai is on his way to the Dominican Republic MTC to prepare to serve as a WEST INDIES MISSIONARY! Elder Cottam worked with him while serving in Guyana and said, "He is awesome!"



President Robison set New Elder Gossai apart at the end of the conference



After conference I got busy helping with lunch



So I handed off my camera to the assistants and sent them outside with all the missionaries under 'orders' to take pictures.

Here are the results - not bad at all


Prospective missionaries


Elders Cromwell, Bryan and Romney


Tobago - Elder Ross, Elders Barton and Jarvis (brand new), and Sister Ross


Elders Holmstead, White, Payne and Vance


Elders Jailall, Jones, Williams, Hickenlooper, Stratton, Nielsen, Thomas, Kippins, Noah and Jackson (his last transfer!)


Elders Westover, Bryan, Cronin, Cromwell, McNeal and Thomas


Elders Sookram, Jones (up), Romney (down) and Cottam


Elders Kippins, Jailall, McNeal and Stratton


Pretty Elders Jones, Barton and Williams


Happy Elders Cronin and McNeal

Can you believe these two will be serving together on Tobago next transfer?


Elders Jarvis and Jones - they will certainly be memorable


Elders Thomas and Thomas - not serving together but that would be fun


The couples, headed up by Sister Green, provided a fabulous lunch of Cafe Rio style pork salads. What a treat! Mexican food is impossible to find in Trinidad.



Patiently waiting?



Much happier now








So - what do the elders do when zone conference is all done?

upload pictures for my last (and final) slideshow (usually they do it during interviews)





chat with President Robison



collect supplies



and best of all - collect mail!



then pack up and head out to work - all charged up for the next six weeks
