Today we have three zones together here in Roseburg:

 Roseburg, Grants Pass, and Coos Bay.

Before I began my presentation I had passed out the "Our Purpose" words on cards and ask the missionaries to stand and hold up the card with the words in order. I told them to really belt it out. Elder Chiu is small, about 90 pounds and his voice is small as well. Every time we would get to his line he said it as loud as he could, but it was barely heard. Then, I told them this was the last time and when it came to Elder Chiu his companion; Elder Mafi picked him up and he said it the loudest voice ever! I couldn't stop laughing. I asked them to do it one more time so

 I could get a picture for the blog.

 After my presentation there were a few more and it was time for

LUNCH!

President Cropper, Elder Mabey,
and president Lowary take a moment to enjoy this great meal.













Elder Danley is helping Elder Mabey check all the cars in  the zones for oil level, tire pressure, cleanliness, etc. He's a tropper! (Even Sister Danley behind  is so proud of him!)

THE COOS BAY ZONE

THE ROSEBURG ZONE

THE GRANTS PASS ZONE

President Lowary always have a great object lesson. He has Elder Hill holding a flashlight at the back of the room for Elder Barclay to see. With each (what seems to be insignificant) disobedience he puts another piece of cloth over Elder Barclay's eyes until he can not longer see any "Light". Pointing out that all sins matter, especially when you are a missionary because we need the Holy Ghost!
