Red, White and Blue: the July Mission Leadership Council

        Taking place two days before Independence Day, the Mission Leadership Council had a decidedly patriotic flavor. Lunch decorations were red, white, and blue, as was the layered set salad that was served as one of the side dishes. 

        As has been the case the past three Transfers, the MIssion Leadership Council has consisted of the President and Sister Woodbury, the Assistants to the President, the 14 Zone Leaders, and the Sister Training Leaders, this time 6 in number. 

By their feet ye shall know them...

Standing: Elder Berube, Elder Stevenson, Elder Daynes, Elder Taylor, Elder St. Martin, Elder Musgrave, Elder Howard, Elder Anderson, Elder Beagley, Elder Rost, Elder Quick, Elder Wharton, Elder Hicken, Elder Thomas, Elder Ahern, Elder Rollins
Sitting, Hermana Velasquez, Hermana Christensen, Sister Vikari, President Woodbury,  Sister Woodbury, Sister Mickelsen, Sister West, Sister Hodges

        After the meeting was over in the afternoon, the group assembled for the customary picture in traditional mode, then showed their zeal in a salute to the flag. 

And showing our patriotic fervor

         Lest anyone think that is all that went on at the Council, the rest of the day, 10:30 am to 4:30 pm, was spent getting Tune-Ups from President Woodbury, Zone Leader and Sister Training Leader reports and Accountabilities, discussion, and training to take back to the Zones and areas. Some great things are happening in the mission and a lot is thanks to these wonderful leaders and their diligent efforts.
        New members of the Council this time were Zone Leaders, Elder Stevenson, Elder Wharton, and Elder Rollins, and Sister Training Leaders, Sister West, and Sister Hodges.
