March Zone Conferences

We were delighted with special guests from our Asia North Area Medical Advisors, Elder and Sister Mead and Elder and Sister Brown. They gave wonderful presentations on how to protect and maintain good physical and mental health while serving rigorous missions. Along with expressions of faith and testimony, their visit was a wonderful blessing and enhancement to our zone conferences!

Oh, it was a happy day on Friday when we were able to meet the 12 wonderful new missionaries and Senior Couple who have been officially transferred to the Daejeon Mission from the Seoul West Mission. High emotion and great gratitude were experienced by all in this historic move. We were able to spend a couple of hours and share a meal together, and had a chance to express feelings and testimony. We are so blessed!

Gone But Never Forgotten!

Elder Ha Young Soo left a few days earlier than the rest to be able to begin his school term on time. It was wonderful to meet his delightful family!
