Iceland is called a sub-mission of the Denmark Copenhagen Mission. Why the term sub-mission? We have never been able to find out. After a great District Meeting today, I determined it is because we have great missionaries and if we were bigger we would be a mission all our own. When President Olauson visits from Denmark he shares mission concerns and always prefaces with "I know this is not a problem in Iceland". Yes, we have great missionaries and they are that way all the time.
I wonder why as I think of the challenges of bigger missions? Is it because we only have 6 Elders, two apartments to transfer between, and two Branches to serve? Or is it that together with the two couples there are only 10 of us to share the training, give talks and do planning? Whatever it is, I am most impressed with the great Elders we have worked with the past 16 months. Everyone of our Assistants to the President have been excellent, the training effective and the talks uplifting. Even though these Elders have fun as President Olauson is always telling them to do, they are worthy servants of the Lord preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and bringing souls unto Him.
We again forgot to take pictures today but here are some from our last Zone Conference I have not used before. The first one includes two of our great member missionaries that have been such a blessing to the people of Iceland.
