Zone Conference

Today we enjoyed zone conference.  This is President and Sister Sartori's last zone conference in Saratov since they go home in July. Lots of interesting direction given - all of it directed towards the younger missionaries, of course.  We enjoy the spirit and support things as we can.  I got to help with a "breakout" which is an activity that gets the missionaries up and moving.  Here's a picture of a musical number - lots of new missionaries this cycle and lots of new sisters.  Many more missionaries coming - 22 in July!  There's also a picture of our district during our breakout activity...Elders Bateman, Treter, Wall and Malloy.

Sherry was asked to make a treat for them to eat after lunch.  Lunch was KFC sandwiches and wraps - as usual - and Sherry made seven dozen muffins!  It took her five hours Sunday afternoon since we can only bake twelve at a time in our small oven.  She used the last of the pumpkin puree she made last Halloween from the jack o'lanterns we made at FHE!  These were pumpkin/carrot/raisan/apple/walnut/chocolate muffins - and man, were they good!  We used up all the odds and ends we had laying around - they were gone in ten minutes!

We left this morning at 07:45 and had a fun bus ride to the Zavodskoy building were conference was held. Got home at 18:00 after another fun bus ride and ten minutes later our first institute students showed up.  Had class and fed them soup and by 21:00 they were gone.  We're going to bed!
