Thanksgiving Mission Wide Conference

We were able to hold a mission wide conference on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. A very generous American member of the church, Ed Barner, rented out a beautiful restaurant in Old Town Prague and catered Thanksgiving dinner for the entire mission. We had everything an American could want to eat on Thanksgiving day. Our missionaries were sooo happy, and so were we! (I didn't have to cook.) Many thanks to Ed! He is such a good friend to the missionaries here, and to the church. This is a picture of ALL the missionaries in the Czech Prague mission, including the missionaries who labor in Slovakia.

It was so exciting to see everyone in the same room! We had an intensive couple of days of leadership training, new missionary training, a special musical fireside, and 3 massive street displays. (By the way, from the street displays, the missionaries were able to make appointments with 57 people and give away a case of The Book of Mormon. It was an inspiring afternoon.) Our son Steven went to all three street displays and took pictures. While he was there, a few of the newer missionaries asked him if he would like to know more about the church. He then explained that he is the mission president's son, and he was assigned to take their picture. It was pretty funny.
