Elders From Denmark Returned Today







Yesterday we had our last District Meeting with the two Elders from Denmark. Elder Meyer and Elder Smedley have been providing training each week at our District Meetings. Having been Assistants to the President before coming to Iceland they know how to teach and gave another excellent training session - this time on planning. We will miss these fine Elders as they have taught with the Spirit and blessed Iceland with their love of the Gospel and their love of the Savior Jesus Christ. The picture of them all together is the last time for this Zone. Thursday morning we receive two new Elders from the MTC. Elder Fillmore and Elder DeCelle will be the trainers and Elder Smith will continue training Elder Ellsworth who is doing great for only one + month in Iceland. Our three trainers have only been here since the middle of January and their language and teaching skills are fantastic. Sure shows what the Lord can do with willing young men. Each District Meeting and Zone Conference Sister Koyle and Sister Bremner provide lunch, but as a special treat for this District Meeting the Elders in Reykjavik made lunch or shall I say a dinner feast. They had a pork roast, potatoes and gravy, peas, corn, fruit salad, and punch. They did ask Sister Koyle to make her delicious cinnamon rolls and dinner rolls and Sister Bremner her famous brownies. So needless to say we didn't need dinner last night.
