Feeding the Masses

Earlier this month I had the wonderful opportunity to help with feeding missionaries at a special zone conference. Elder David A. Bednar came to our stake conference and during part of the weekend had a zone conference for the missionaries. It wasn't just the missionaries within my stake, but the all the missionaries in the entire Missouri, Independence Mission. That's a lot of missionaries. We made 300 sack lunches for all those hungry Elders, Sisters, and Senior couples. The Stake Relief Society spent the entire morning at Ruth Gardner's home assembling the meal. It was so much fun. After making the sandwiches and filling the sacks, we took them to the Stake Center and served. One of the perks was to listen to the tail end of Elder Bednar's remarks to the missionaries. I so enjoy being able to serve in my calling. The best part of it all though was getting to have a picture taken with my missionary. He has less than a month to serve so this was probably the last chance to get a picture of him on his mission.
