2020 June 20-30 Events



20 June 2020, Saturday

I made this so we can keep track of where the elders live and who drives (orange dot). We have to make sure we have the drivers in needed places. The board on the wall above this is covered with missionaries photos in their zones, districts, and teaching areas. But no one lives in their teaching areas--so I came up with this. The Sisters live in the MTC facility.


20 June 2020, Saturday

Elder Rattana found out today he had to pay for the repatriation flight to Thailand by 12 noon. Area travel paid it with 10 minutes to spare! He leaves next Friday, 26 June.

10-12 pm. MLC on Zoom





21 June 2020, Sunday Gathering, 7 pm

Mike Leavitt and two COVID-19 experts joined our meeting. We looked at a PowerPoint they and President Leavitt and I have been developing from Mike's presentation last Sunday that the missionaries can use to help people they teach understand about COVID-19 and also help them find peace through having more knowledge about the virus and the gospel of Jesus Christ.










23 June 2020

While President Leavitt does interviews with each missionary each transfer cycle in his office, I do training with a companionship on my phone's WhatsApp video. This is an example of our experience.

29 June 2020

Sister Kamogelo Jantjie came to our Bungalow on 29 June to take a COVID-19 test before entering the MTC on Thursday. She was negative.

During the week, she helped our assistants, Elder Kunjuzwa and Elder Rakotonindrina--and Elder Ngema, who arrived at our house on 30 June, put transfer board photos in pages of Sister Leavitt's memory books from having 120 plus missionaries leave since the lockdown 27 March 2020. 


Getting the transfer ready for July 2, 2020.
