Moldova Zone Conference

The last two weeks we have been traveling around the mission doing zone conference with our missionaries. For the first time in our mission, we decided to hold the Rom-Est conference in Moldova. We have one Russian missionary there (Elder Kozlenko) and he cannot leave Moldova to attend conferences because of visa problems. We did this so he could be a part of the conference. It was a wonderful experience and really fun for those in the zone who had never been to Moldova. However, the following pictures are not about our conference. The two photos of the food on the shelves are Branch President Verlon's "Bishop's Storehouse". This branch president is amazing. There are so many poor people in these countries that are in need of the basics of life and, President Verlon lives the gospel and makes sure he helps those in his branch who need him. The branch has very little money but he is faithful about making sure this tiny room has food on the shelves and when a member is in trouble he fills an order for them and makes sure they will eat. The small blue bags on the floor are a couple of orders he had ready to deliver. I guess this is really only significant to those of you who really understand what a sacrifice it is to give to the Fast donation fund to provide money for the poor. He truly lives the gospel and tries to run his branch the way the Lord wants it done. One of the other pictures is a young man holding a bell. His calling is to ring the bell when it is time to change classes. He does it with enthusiasm and is very happy with this calling. The last photos are of our two recently returned Moldova missionaries....Sora Ecaterina Iliuina and Elder Marin Dehtear.
