Mission Conference

We were excited to have Elder Jack Gerard and his wife visit us in Bucharest for a mission conference. They were just coming into town from Azerbaijan. You may remember him from something he said in April General Conference: 

    A number of years ago, Elder Uchtdorf was assigned to reorganize our stake. During our interview, he asked me a question I have not forgotten: “Has there been anything in your life that, if brought to the attention of the public, would be an embarrassment to you or the Church?”

Wow, that is something that stuck with me. He was generous with his praise for the missionaries, but especially with the senior missionaries. He had us stand up and be recognized from the back of the room.

We enjoyed an uplifting conference, but Paul had to run back to the apartment to meet with a repairman. It was wonderful to chat with Sister Gerard and hear about her 8 children, 2 of whom were twins adopted from Guatemala and are currently serving missions. 

It's always fun to gather with the young missionaries and for them to see former companions.
