CDMs - February 13-17, 2012

Quarterly interviews occurred this past week. President and I love these times to visit with each missionary.  Also during CDMs  (combined district meetings), the zone leaders, the assistants, President Matsumori and I train.

Here are photos from the six zones CDMs.  I apologize if your missionary doesn't show up in a picture. He/she was in the interview with President when it was my turn to train (which is when I take the majority of the pictures).
