2019 July 3 Mission Leadership Council

Tuesday, 2 July 2019

We had one of our zone leaders, Elder Gcwabe, as the oldest son of his father, leave Tuesday night to Eastern Cape for a short time to deal with his father's untimely death. His district ate lunch at the mission home after driving up from Potchefstroom and getting an X-ray of Elder Gcwabe's knee--bones all okay.

Elder Willison and Elder Flood dropping Elder San Pascual (who is staying with the Mission Office zone leaders while recovering from surgery--had stitches removed Monday) to stay for the day at the mission home while they went finding. 

Elder Truman, Elder Avanitele and Elder Earl ate dinner and slept at the mission home Tuesday night after dropping Elder Gcwabe at the Greyhound station. 

(And they sang Happy Birthday to me!)
