This was a multi zone conference held at the Congo Cross Stake Center the Thursday before we came home.  Elder Ashton came and spoke to us.  He is the counselor in the General Sunday School Presidency.  Above was just a random picture I took before the meeting started.  On the front row 3rd from the right is Elder Beecher, he is one of our favorites.  (We have a lot of favorites). Front row 2nd from the right is Elder Ngadi. Also 2nd row 2nd for the right is Elder Izekor.  He is also one of our favorites.  He is the first missionary we welcomed after we arrived in Sierra Leone.  Elder Newton is front row far left. (another favorite) Elder Owen center with blond hair.  We do love this group of great missionaries!

 Above is Brent and I with a couple of our Filipino missionaries, Elder Caetano and Elder Carmona.  Our Grandson Filipino, Elder Cornista was serving in Bo and could not attend this day, but we had his friends.  Below is Elder Peterson with us.  He has the cutest sense of humor and is a wonderful missionary. 

 Some of our all time favorites, (again we have many)  Above Elder Beecher and Elder Fefegula.  Elder Fefegula is waiting for his Mozambique visa to come through and then he will head to theProvo MTC to learn Portuguese.  He has not been to the MTC or the Temple yet, but has been serving in our mission with Elder Beecher since October.  They are great missionaries.  Below is Elder Newton and Elder Fefegula.  Both waiting for Visa's from Mozambique.  I helped both young men acquire their Visa's for the US so they could attend the Provo MTC.  (side note since I am writing this after we returned home.  Both boys were able to receive their Visa's and are now in the MTC in Provo.  I feel like all my ends are tied up and I have completed all my tasks for the mission that needed to be finished.)

 Above is a picture of all the missionaries that were at the Zone conference.  President and Sister Clawson are sitting to the right of Brent and I.  They presented this plaque to us at the Zone conference and asked us to bear our Testimonies.  It was a sweet and humbling experience.  Below is Brent and I with Elder Cluff.  He took the picture above and we wanted him in a picture with us also. 

 These ladies prepared the meal we had at the Zone conference.  The sister on the left is the main lady.  She has catered several meals for conferences and her food is very good.  Her daughter is in the picture below and her name is Mariama  They are neat gals.
