Aruba (5-7 OCT 2019)



ARUBA

We arrived in Aruba in time to hurry to San Nicolas to watch the first session of General Conference there.  We then went to the Oranjestad branch for the Second Session.  We repeated that on Sunday.  What an absolutely amazing General conference!  I feel so uplifted and truly spiritually nourished.  I am so looking forward to listening to the whole thing again...that's what I do while I'm exercising in the morning.  It has been a great way to start the day and I feel like I add to my "tools" to be able to pull from at a moments notice when I'm asked to speak.....which happens often.  


Not a huge turn-out....with it available on the internet I think most people choose to stay home to watch it. 


We decided instead of going to the fitness center we walked along this wonderful path they have that is just across the
street from our Hotel.  It was a beautiful morning and a great choice for our morning exercise.  



ARUBA ZONE CONFERENCE

This round of Zone Conferences we are talking about the Character of Christ, how to build lasting relationships with people and ways we can get to know Jesus Christ better (and why that's important).  We are also talking about establishing solid goals to keep us motivated in our missionary work.  "The field is white already to harvest" and we want to be part of that harvest!!
