Zone Conference and…..

This time, our Zone Conference meetings were divided into 3 areas.

It was a great conference and we loved being with all these missionaries!!

Do you remember the end of last year when we ask everyone to fast and pray with the Logan Town Branch that they would get a better place to meet?  Well, those prayers have been answered.  

It's a long story - but a quick version is that Elder Berrett met the owner of the Logan Town Branch building, invited him to church, he was taught by the missionaries, and baptized.  Brother McCauley  now has sold the land and building to the church and they are remolding it.  

You can see at the back where they have expanded the chapel.

Here's what it looks like inside.  Everyone should now be able to fit for Sacrament Meeting.

We are excited to see what it all looks like when they are done. 

And we are so pleased for the Logan Town Branch.

I always notice this stack of mattresses along side the road as we're driving on Bushrod Island.  I think all the bright colors catch my eye - plus the fact that you can buy a mattress right there by the road!  

I'm even more fascinated by the people who buy them and how they transport them home.

 The mattress buyers here figure out some interesting ways to get their mattresses home.  

They just fold it in half and then…..

Put it ON or IN a car or taxi ...

Or on their head and walk it home…..

Or on their head on the back of motorbike taxi.

Just some helpful ideas for you next time you buy a mattress and are wondering 

"How am I going to get this home?"
