Because of its size and location, Evansville had always had its own Zone COnference and the other six Zones combined into three. But now, with each Zone being larger we decided to have seven separate Zone Conferences, which made for three more full days for the President and Sister WOodbury and the Assistants to the President, but a more manageable size in each and a more productive format for all concerned. Again, this didn't make it any different than usual for Evansville t his time around, but it did make it different for the aforementioned people "running the show."
Moving on, here are the amazing Elder and Sisters of the Evansville Zone, as they were at Zone Conference on November 13th:

Zone Conference began at 9:45 and ended about 4:30 or 5:00, plus another hour for pictures and visiting. The morning consisted of the regular opening and Recitals, three miracle conversion or contacting stories, auto safety by President Woodbury, the cleanliness quiz and awards by Sister Woodbury, a musical number by Elder Hathaway, Tune-Ups by President Woodbury, training on the new "Adjusting to Mission Life" manual by Sister Woodbury, an instruction from President Woodbury, and the Missionary Medley led by Sister Woodbury and accompanied by Elder Hathaway. After a break, everyone divided into three groups and had their first rotation of three break-out training sessions. President Woodbury took one group, trained on reactivating members, the Assistants to the President, Elder Anderson and Elder Thomas trained on contacting using the Book of Mormon, and the Zone Leaders, Elder Evans and Elder Stohel, trained on a subject of their choice.
After lunch and singing "Called to Serve" GKLM-style to thank the Relief Society Sisters who provided our lunch,
everyone moved into their second session, followed by their third.
Meeting back in the chapel the Halvorsen's award for cleanest car was announced, President Woodbury spoke about having the eye of faith in missionary work, and the missionaries who are leaving before the next Zone Conference bore their testimonies, namely Elder Manzano, Elder Seegmiller, SIster West, Elder Potter, Sister Roberts, Elder Thomas, and Elder Anderson.
As mentioned previously, after concluding the conference, pictures and visiting ensued, along with copies of pictures taken by Sister Woodbury being distributed along with her chocolate chip cookies, copies of the Trumpet newsletter, media and packages from the Mission Office, and the keys to the cars that Elder and Sister Halvorsen had inspected. Oh, and lots of slapping hugs by the Elders with each other, and a more gentle, non-slapping version between the Sisters, before leaving.
