        After lunch two training sessions were held, with one Zone going with President Woodbury for training on how to begin to teach, and the other going with the Assistants to the President, Elder Warner and Elder Daynes, to be trained on using the Book of Mormon more effectively to contact and teach, then trading locations and subjects. In the former, President Woodbury had the Elder and Sisters do a speed-beginning teaching exercise, sort-of like speed-dating, which was very effective and confidence-building.

             Lexington Zone Leaders Elder Quick and Elder Hicken, and Lexington North Zone Leaders Elder Rost and Elder Musgrave took their respective Zone members and did training, then everyone reconvened in the chapel to hear the testimonies of the missionaries who will be going home before the next Zone Conference, namely Elder Rost, Elder Blake, Elder Walker, Hermana Gomm, Elder Howell, Elder Ferguson-Villegas, Elder Dye, Elder and Sister Olsen, Elder Warner, and Elder Daynes. President Woodbury did also did some wrap-up comments.

        Afterward. gathering in the gym, whole group shots were taken as well as smaller ones. Trumpet newsletters were handed out, copies of pictures that Sister Woodbury has taken in the last few months, and  two-each chocolate chip cookies because Sister Woodbury loves them and can't stand to see less tidy missionaries cry and beg cookies off those who won cookies for their cleanliness.
