This is their last zone conference before returning home on 16 April 2019.

2019 March 26 Visa Delay Transfer



March 26, Tuesday
Visa Delay Transfer

Elder Spencer, Elder Rash, Elder Willison and Elder Nau picked up Elder Ellaso and Elder Egay at the airport and brought them to the mission home where we all ate breakfast. Elder Ellaso and Elder Egay went to the MTC in the Philippines and taught in a mission there until they received their South African visas. 

Then we drove to the mission office. President Leavitt interviewed Elder Ellaso and Elder Egay while I did my training with them. They also received the usual training and orientation by the office staff.

After their interviews, President Leavitt matched them with their trainers. We took pictures with them. President Leavitt and I then left to drive to the Vanderbijlpark flat to start a day of interviews.

Elder Egay, Elder Ellaso, Elder San Pascual, Elder Mercado
