In the morning we had Recitals, Instruction, Bike Safety and Tune-Ups by President Woodbury, and talks by newly called counselor in the Mission Presidency, President Rennick, and Sister Woodbury. We also had a beautiful musical number comprised of the missionaries in the Bluegrass and Richmond Districts, "Y Elders of Israel," with Sister Nelson doing a solo at the beginning and also featuring Elder Bowman and Elder Anderson.

Last of the morning was GKLM Jeopardy with categories like "Book of Mormon," "Follow the Prophet," "Clean-Living," "Now is the Time," "Missionary Life," "Pests," "Let's Get This Right" (Commandments), and "Ride-On" (Bike-Safety). Winners got a giant Kit-Kat bar.  

Unfortunately, because we were in the chapel, we don't have pictures of the activity, but if you want to get the idea, go back a day to the Evansville Zone Conference, and you'll get the idea.

And after lunch, to thank the Relief Society sisters who provided such a lovely meal, everyone sang,  "Called To Serve" complete with GKLM emphasis (!)

"Go baptize!"

In the afternoon, President Woodbury did teaching and training, with the assistance of the Assistants (clever, eh?) and the Zone Leaders did a presentation, as sort of State of the Zones. Testimonies were born by soon to depart missionaries, Elder Lewis, Sister Wooden, Elder Ith, Elder and Sister Foote, and Elder Thompson. President Woodbury did a bit of tying up for the day, then it all ended until next time, but not before Trick-or-Treating in the Cultural Hall and of course, lots of pictures.
