Zone Conference in Helena Montana


Landon and Gwen drove up to Helena on Sunday afternoon, arriving about 9:30pm. They visited with President Fisher at the hotel, and the next morning traveled to a church where the conference was held. There were approximately 18 Elders, 2 Sister missionaries, and one couple missionary. It was interesting to note all of the "practical" matters which were discussed, i.e. having $20 on you at all times (for emergencies), clean and trimmed neckline, insurance(medical) cards in order, watching a safety video (they had 5 wrecks in the past week),etc. There were missionaries of all shapes and sizes, tall, short, outgoing, shy, greenies (only in the field for 3 weeks) and one who only had 2 weeks left. It was great to share in the spirit that was there. We were treated so graciously, and were able to eat lunch with them, sing with them, pray with them, and share our testimonies with them. It was a great preview to what Landon will be experiencing soon. We left for home about 5:30 pm on Monday. Thanks again President and Sister Fisher - we love you !!

From California to Montana

Landon is off to Cali with friends. They flew out last night, will attend the Angels/Cleveland game today, and the BYU/UCLA Bruins game on Saturday. They will fly home early Sunday morning, and then he and Gwen will drive to Helena, Montana for a zone conference with President Fisher (Landon's former bishop), and the missionaries of the Billings Montana Mission on Monday.
