We finally had time to snap a group photo and the Newfoundland Zone Conference. Such a great conference with great missionaries.

Another day where we snapped some quick photos at the zone conference. Had a great conference.
Lots of photos from our New Brunswick Zone Conference. Sometimes we have time to do a group photo, and sometimes this is what you get--some individual shots of our wonderful faithful and faith-filled missionaries.
These are our great missionaries that departed in March. Every one of them left their mark on those they came in contact with and left a mark on our hearts as well. We are grateful to them for their hard work and dedicated service and wish them all the best as they return home.
These poor missionaries have won the contest on the longest time arriving at the mission. They departed the MTC early on a Tuesday morning but after some hours at the SLC airport were sent back to the MTC. Their flight was then scheduled for Friday morning, so they left the MTC early to make a 5 a.m. flight. They were again delayed during their travels but finally arrived about 1 a.m. Saturday morning. Needless to say they were very tired, but we are so glad they made it. They seem fabulous!
The Dyvrande family lives on St. Pierre & Michelon (an island off the coast of Newfoundland which is in our mission). We were able to visit this new member family. They didn't know when they moved to St. Pierre that they would be the only members on the island of 6000 people. They also found out that the closest branch is St. John's Newfounland (a 6 hour trip). So, they have been Skyping into Edmonston for church and the French missionaries translate the meeting for them. The most exciting news is that on March 9th Brother and Sister Dyvrande and went through the temple for their endowments and on March 10th they were sealed as a family to their son Meddy. We are so happy for them!
Our MLC this transfer was all about the smart phones. You can see that no one is excited about this!
Catching up a bit on some missionary departures. The beginning of February Sis. Kilmer went home. She was the only one scheduled to go at this time, so she had her own departure celebration. Sis. Kilmer is a skilled and tough missionary. She didn't let anything get in her way, and we are sure her perseverance and hard work will continue to bless her life and the lives of those around her.
For 2 1/2 years seeing Caribou has been on Pres. Pratt's bucket list. And, finally, his dream was realized in Buchans, Newfoundland.
