This was a pretty good size group, with the most sisters we've ever had. They were certainly a breath of fresh air! It was probably the most diverse group as well. They came from Canada, Ireland, England, USA, DRC, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and SA. They went to the Johannesburg, Durban, Zimbabwe, and Zambia Missions. A highlight of their time here was an invitation from the Joburg Mission President to join with one of his Zones to see and hear Elder Nelson and his wife who were here for a week or so along with Elder Rasband and Bishop Edgely and their wives.Eight of the missionaries received their endowments while they were here. Conference came to SA the first Sunday they were here so they also got to watch that. (All of Africa is sent a DVD of Conference and every Stake, Ward, Branch, etc. watches it on the same day).
What a great group--and what a treat to meet/hear all of those church leaders! I didn't know about SA getting conference on DVD. Very interesting! Any Halloween fun at the MTC there? Hope all is well!
