Random Pictures

Here's a couple of random pics...one is of the fountain near the walking street.  It is also in front of the circus building, hence the animals.  

The second picture is of real, live Sister Training Leaders (STL) this morning in Zone Training Meeting.  STLs are awesome, as are all sisters. These are the first STLs we've had in our zone and it is wonderful to watch them interact with the Elders.

Zone training was all focused on the recent Work of Salvation broadcast and how to implement it in our zone.  Lots of very creative ideas.  The focus is more on working with members and being creative in contacting rather than just being out on the streets trying to talk to people - which is VERY unproductive and absolutely not the favorite things for missionaries to do.  In spite of that they still do it...they are wonderfully obedient to mission guidelines.

The next few months I can see a huge change in the focus of  our missionaries efforts.  Of course, the goal of bringing people to Christ remains the same but the methods will be changing.  We pray everyday that those people who want to come to Christ will meet our missionaries and learn of Him through them...and that our missionaries will be protected from those who may not be quite as interested in their message!
