2019 January 4 ZC BN, RP, SO, SP Zones

On Friday at noon, the Benoni, Roodepoort, Soweto and Springs Zones met at the Florida Chapel at noon for zone conference.

We had the same program as Thursday, except two changes:

The reconvening hymn after lunch was sung by Elder Williams with Elder Andrews on the organ.

At today's zone conference, we heard the departing testimonies of Elder Pop and Elder Zimba. They depart January 22. Elder Mbaki will be the last missionary who was serving here when President Leavitt and I came in March 2017. Because health issues precluded him from fully serving during the beginning of his mission, Elder Mbaki is staying until the April 16, 2019 transfer.
