Oh how the weather can change in a day. Monday's zone conference was held in beautiful fall weather. Today we had monsoon type showers.
 |
| Elder Wery and Elder Tomlinson help Sister Black set the tables. Elder Wery is holding what is left of our "centerpiece" that we scattered down the middle of every table. |
 |
| Today's car checks were done in the rain. You can see the puddles that have gathered in the parking lot. |
Once again the missionaries were split into groups that rotated through three presentations: one about cars, one about using the senior missionaries effectively and one about the Book of Mormon.

Part of zone breakout training is practicing a teaching technique.

 |
| The senior missionaries add great experience in these practices. |
The lunch was provided by the Relief Society sisters in the Montgomery Chinese speaking Branch. You'll notice that some of the missionaries choose to use chop sticks.

A downpour greeted us at the conclusion of zone conference. It slowed enough for people to leave after a few minutes.
 |
| Missionaries still back one another - even and perhaps especially - when it is pouring. |
