30 May 2018 Mission Leadership Council

30 May 2018
MLC
CES Classroom, Roodepoort


President & Sister Leavitt, the two assistants, Sister Willis and Sister Foxx as sister leader trainers and all zone leaders meet once a month in our mission leadership council. We do scripture study, training and council together on items of mission business. It is a wonderful time to council together.

Digital map of all our areas, chapels and flats. This has been a great help in knowing where to obtain flats closer to proselyting areas. We have been given a mandate to drastically reduce cars to bring the missionaries closer to the people. We have been working diligently on this project. We reduced cars last transfer while opening new areas with more missionaries. We will continue this pattern each transfer until the right balance is met.

Elder Treasure and Elder Smith
They join us from Swaziland. They can see and hear all of us in the room and we can see and hear them (we have several cameras and mikes). They can also see all of the audiovisuals on their computer screen.
They save 10 hours of driving, staying overnight, and losing time working in their own area and with the ten missionaries in their zone. The assistants have to go on exchanges with the zone leaders in Swaziland as some of our missionaries there cannot proselyte in South Africa because they do not have visas, including Elder Smith.

28 May 2018, Special Conference President Clayton

Monday, 28 May 2018

We had a special conference in the Florida Chapel with President L. Whitney Clayton, Sister Clayton, President and Sister Hamilton. President Clayton is the presiding president of the seven presidents of the seventy. Our 22 missionaries and 3 couples who were further away listened and watched by live-stream video--thanks to Elder Pratt (who just completed his mission on 15 May), Elder Marsden, Elder Davis, Elder Curriden and Elder Zimba. 

Photos taken before the meeting:

The missionary choir members sat in the front section with Elder Pop leading them in singing a special musical number, More Holiness Give Me. Elder G. Smith was the accompanist for all the songs. Elder Davis lead the congregational hymns.

The MTC missionaries joined us on the front right four rows, along with President Andre & Sister Joy Bester on the stand:
