Final Zone Conference for President and Sister Jensen

We left the house and noticed a new stem of bananas starting to grow. These banana trees in our yard are quite prolific. They give them no care, no water and hack off leaves when they get in our way and still they bare lots of good little bananas. We are on our way to the last zone conference with President and Sister Jensen. It will be hard for all of us to see them leave us and return to their family.

A basket cart was outside our gate and I just had to include it in the blog because it reminds me of our daily sights on the street here.

This is Elder and Sister Engels. They are working in the office and doing an outstanding work. They are the greatest people.

Here we are in Baguio.

President and Sister Jensen

After a wonderful conference, we gathered for a a nice meal in the cultural hall. We would have organized good-bye songs and farewell notes, but we could tell it would be too hard on the Jensens.

The food was great and the missionaries made sure there were no left-overs to worry about.

The birthday group included Sister Lindsay this time.

The birthday missionaries get to pick two items from the birthday treasure box!

Sister Lindsay chose a "King Jim" notebook and a small copy of the Book of Mormon.

Sister Lindsay made flowers for all the the sister missionaries.

Zones gathered for their last pictures with President and Sister Jensen.

I'll slip this picture in of our own zone that met in Dagupan.

They always have great fare at the zone conferences. A spiritual and temporal feast!

Sister Mortimer and Sister Lindsay. Elder and Sister Mortimer serve in the Employment Resource Center in Dagupan and hale from Herriman, where he was mayor before their mission.

Sister Lindsay's flowers brought smiles to the faces of all the Sister missionaries.
