Our last Zone conference with President and Sister McKee before they were released.  All of the girls seated on the front row are their daughters except Sister Escobar on the far left.  It was a great conference but quite melancholy as we said goodbye to the McKee's.

This is the little Samoan sister I have written about before.  She really became attached to Sis. Peterson and would always come for several hugs when we came to zone meetings.  She was afraid she was going to be transferred so we had to get her picture.  She bore testimony at the end of Zone meeting and began by saying she had never spoke before so many white faces ever before in her life.  She is a real sweetheart and doing well even though she is very quiet and shy.

A beautiful large Mimosa tree near a home that we visit.   With all the rain we have had this year, the mimosas have been just beautiful.  Last year was very dry and they did not bloom much and just weren't as pretty.  This year you notice them everywhere and they are gorgeous.

One week later we had another Zone Conference with our new Mission President and his wife, President and Sister Andersen.  They are younger than the McKee's but have no children with them.  They are a really good young couple and I think will do an excellent job leading our Mission.  We will not have another zone conference before we head home so we had to bear our testimonies at this meeting.  All departing missionaries bear their testimonies at the last Zone conference before they leave.  It seemed strange to do so because we just past our hump day three weeks ago.  We have a little over two months before our six months are up. We have been busy and the time has flown.  We are starting to worry that we won't be able to finish all we would like to.

Elder and Sister Peterson - Havin' way too much fun in old Kaintuck!
