Mission Conference – the Mail - Parking

We didn’t have much to prepare for the mission conference in the office. Although Sister Marsden has been working on the Christmas Year books all year and even printed and bound them all herself. Making sure all the mail was ready was the most I had to do, apart from the secret Santa project which had nothing to do with my office calling really.

We were up nice and early on Wednesday morning. Elder Saunders went straight to Tuhikarema Camp Site where the conference was being held.

Elder Saunders and Elder Witts parked over 50 cars. I just love their official working gear.

 

 I went to the office, why? To sort out todays mail of course. With that all done I went next to the camp site.

All the missionaries started arriving and it was hard work trying to get out all the mail before the Conference started and almost did  apart from 3 Zones. We managed to get the keys off one Zone Leader and put all the parcels in the Zone Leader’s boot for them to sort out later. After the conference the other two collected theirs from my car. I did have one phone call from the office to tell me one more parcel had arrived and then I had a text to say another had arrived. So back to the office I went in between workshops and collect the two parcels. I was able to give one out but told both the missionary and the Zone leader to collect it from my car before then left to go home. Did they remember? NO! So after they had left I tried phoning them eventually they answered. They had stopped at Burger King in Glenview. We would have travelled to them but we didn’t have time to get there, eat and then get to the Temple Christmas Lights, as we were on duty that night. So while we ate at Carl’s Jr they travelled back to us. To our surprise 4 missionary Sisters were eating there to, so that was great fun.

I felt very generous sharing my dinner with them. I mean one whole small chip cut in two was very generous.
