Zone Conference with Elder Klebingat

Image
Instead of 5 Zone Conferences, we had two(Inverness and Gardendale) with Elder Klebingat.  President Sainsbury picked him up at the airport Wednesday night, took him to dinner and to his hotel.  I enjoyed sitting at his table and finding out he and his wife have three children and he served his mission in Colorado, but grew up in Germany.  He was a Mission President and a Stake President in the past.  He instructed President and Sister Sainsbury on the car rides to and from Tupelo's Stake Conference and had a very open and matter of fact style.      President Ballard assigns President Klebingat and delegates to him the Apolstolic keys to function.  He said, "The Lord does not waste time, He has high expectations and is focused.

We enjoyed Marie's wonderful cooking and games with their boys.  Matt and Maire had taken an Anniversary trip to Chattanooga, TN and showed us photos of Ruby Falls and City of the Rocks.  They suggested visiting City of the Rocks.  Then we went to the hotel.      The next morning, we toured Stone Mountain in the rain and saw some films about the Monument. President Jefferson Davis, Robert E Lee and "Stonewall" Jackso...

President Muck's Confederate Senior Outing

Image
     President Muck went to a great deal of work arranging for all the Senior missionaries to visit a Confederate cemetery, two museums and a historical iron mining site. It was rained out and rescheduled.  We all enjoyed Subway sandwich meals, catered by President Muck and delivered by the Elders. Overall we had a wonderful day together, even though we loved our air-conditioned van rides!! George and Martha Washington letters "And blessed are they who shall seek to bring forth my Zion at that day, for they shall have the gift and the power of the Holy Ghost; and if they endure to the end they shall be lifted up at the last day, and shall be saved in the everlasting kingdom of the Lamb; and whoso shall publish peace, yea, tidings of great joy, how beautiful upon the mountains shall they be."         1 Nephi 13:37
