On
Wednesday we had a terrific zone conference in Rotterdam, with Elder Moreira of
the 3rd Quorum of the Seventy as guest speaker. During the first half,
President and Sister Robinson and the assistants spoke to the missionaries
about obedience and various other things to help work better with the wards and
branches. After lunch, four elders did a wonderful musical number, with one
playing the piano and the other three sang. It must be one of the best musical
numbers I have ever heard during a zone conference/training. After the
departing testimonies by a bunch of missionaries that go home in December,
Elder Moreira and his wife spoke to us. They were great talks and it was really
uplifting and inspiring. Additonally, Elder Moreira was very funny and made
jokes the way through. A great speaker.
The
next day, we drove to Zoetermeer to drop off the orders for the other three
zones. We ate some food and listened to the musical number that was done again,
at Elder Moreira's request, while we were there. The rest of the week was good,
without too many surprises. We did get a lot of packages the whole
week. Probably between 5 and 15 from Tuesday to Friday. They were mostly
Christmas packages for missionaries. When there are 150 missionaries in the
mission, there are going to be a lot of Christmas packages.
For
the 4th week in a row, we will be playing Munchkin with the assistants. Though
probably less long than last time, since they have to go somewhere in the
afternoon. But it will be fun.

prosperous the fool trembles for the evil that is to come; in adversity the
philosopher smiles for the good that he has had." - Ambrose Bierce
