REDLANDS ZONE CONFERENCE

Today, the last of 7 zone conferences was held in Redlands. Missionaries from both Redlands zones gathered to meet with President and Sister Van Cott. Having received instruction and training from their leaders, the Elders and Sisters are ready to continue in hastening the work in the California Redlands Mission.

Again the faithful sisters in our mission provided lunch for the zone conference. As always, it puts a smile on your face to be able to serve the missionaries as they serve the Lord. Thank you sisters!
