2019 Nov 11 ZC with Elder & Sister Holland

On Monday morning, after our transfer at the Sandton Chapel, our entire mission, the missionaries at the MTC and some zones from the Botswana/Namibia Mission attended a meeting with President and Sister Holland, and our Africa Southeast Area President Palmer and 1st Counselor President Sitati.

Before the meeting began, Elder Holland shook each person's hand and had a personal spiritual interview with them. Overall, he was so pleased.

We heard from President Palmer and President Sitati. Missionaries from our mission sang under the direction of Elder C. Smith as conductor and Elder Romney as accompanist. Then we were pleased to hear from Sister Holland and then Elder Holland.  All listening were spiritually fed. 

We excused the other missionaries first and used this exceptional opportunity to take a photo of all our missionaries together. Everyone had boxed lunches after the meeting.

Our mission reconvened our zone conference in the chapel for two more hours before returning to our areas. We chose to do this because of the December transfer being moved up a week, making this a five-week transfer.

The Eswatini Zone stayed at the mission home Monday night for interviews and training Monday night and Tuesday morning before returning to their areas driving 5 1/2 hours plus, with a border crossing.
