Just two days after zone conference the Ikageng district held their usual Friday district meeting in the Klerksdorp chapel. The zone leaders, elders Menendez and George, traveled close to two hours to attend.

In the morning our favorite yellow bird showed up to have breakfast and I got a good shot of him – I assume it is a him because males tend to have the brightest colors. The meeting opened with elder Perez leading the music. What he lacked in ability to keep time he more than made up with enthusiasm.

After the meeting elder Larsen worked on a baptism program while elder Otieno made some followup notes. Others just enjoyed talking to friends that they have not seen for two days!

The discussions continued into the parking lot where the zone leaders handed out supplies and the ever hoped for letters from home. Some of the missionaries get regular mail and some have never had one their whole mission. I just noticed that the companionship of elders Graham and Larsen is sporting blue ties.

Sister Dummer has a discussion with elder Otieno. For lunch we went to Steers with E/S Dummer where we talked about – what else – missionary work. We shared ideas that work. talked about the branches we work with and gave suggestions about problems or concerns.

On our way home we stopped at the used books store so Mary could stock up for a few more weeks of reading. I find that I did not take a picture of this stop but will the next time we go.
