Today was our last Icelandic Zone Conference. Every Zone Conference the missionaries are assigned a topic on which to prepare a 5-minute talk. We are also asked to be prepared to shorten it to 2 minutes, 1 minute or 30 seconds. This is a training exercise which the President critiques to help improve speaking skills. Sister Bremner and I have never been called on to give our talks while Elder and Sister Koyle have had many opportunities to give theirs. We were busy this week and by midweek had not prepared. We joked about not preparing, as we never are called on anyway. Eileen started on hers though and I joked I will just use yours if you aren’t called and I am. Then I thought no I had better prepare. It was the right decision as both of us were called on to give the 5-minute talks. For some reason the only picture was one taken by Eileen just before the meeting of Elder Koyle going over his talk. Therefore, this post is not very exciting for the parents who like to see their boys.
Following Zone Conference, we had another great baptism. Kristófer Eðvarðsson bore his testimony at the end of the baptismal service and told how he had been praying to find God for over a year and the morning he met the missionaries he had knelt down and ask for help to find God. After he met the missionaries, he recognized the answer to his prayer. He had many family and friends attend the baptism, which was very special too.
This was a great day for our last Icelandic Zone Conference. (This was written yesterday but not posted until today.)
