April and May Zone Leader Council

Most Zone Leader Councils have eighteen people involved: fourteen Zone Leaders, two Assistants to the President, the President himself, and the chief cook and plate-washer, Sister Woodbury. 
  
 In April, though, there were twenty-six.  
The add-ins consisted of the Woodbury's two daughters and their combined children, six of the eight most adorable grandchildren on the planet. (The other two were back in Salt Lake.) 
Elder Bradford, Elder Corry, Elder Freestone, Elder Shaffer, Elder Clark, Elder Lutz, Elder Call, Elder Tolman, Elder J. Day, Elder Morriss, Elder Casteneda, Elder Everett, Elder Morrison, Elder DV Gardner, Elder Armstrong
President Woodbury, Amelia, Cole, Sam, Sister Woodbury, Owen, Jake, Elder Fegan
 While the Elders and President were busy hashing out the affairs of the Kingdom inside,
 
the daughters and grandkids were busy outside, working in a Play-Dough bakery
 
 
 and running in pinwheel races.

 Sorry, Elders. There is no doubt who had the most fun...

In May, though, there was no competition for engaging activity
so the seventeen men (with one token woman on the sidelines) were free to council together to their hearts' content.
 Elder Dewey did his magic on the piano
 while the assembled Mission leaders sang with full hearts and gusto. 
 Like the song that begins the event: 
"Ye Elders of Israel" -  you're the best of the best!
