The Spiritual Engine and Father's Day Photo Journal

Getting into the Zone Conference notes.

It is not an error that the second talk is listed as "Elder."  It was my first zone conference and I didn't get a real chance to meet any of the other missionaries yet, although everyone showed up at the airport when I finally got on island.  So if anyone remembers who gave this talk, feel free to let me know!

About a week before zone conference all missionaries were given an assigned topic to prepare a 5 minute talk.  It was our responsibility to be prepared, because you didn't know if you would be sharing your talk until it was announced at zone conference.  All other speakers and participants were  informed of their specific assignments.

Father's Day 2013.  No, I did not cook breakfast, lunch or dinner for Nakeu.  Although for lunch I did warm up the frozen corn dogs.  Sundays and sometimes Saturdays are days that Nakeu likes to cook.  But we still did our best to make Nakeu feel special on Father's Day.

We took Father's Day pictures a new tradition we started last month on Mother's Day:

They wanted to take a funny one
