After lunch Elder Opper sang an amazing song. It brought the Spirit back immediately.
Every meeting with missionaries must include role-plays!
I walked around and took pictures of these wonderful missionaries who know how to talk and teach.
After President Russell finished and bore a sweet testimony, Elder Cronin and Elder Hill asked us to go up to the stand.
After the prayer, Elder Miller presented President Russell and I with this beautiful quilt that his mother had made and all of the missionaries had signed!
It's priceless to us!!
Thank you Sister Miller!!!
