and Galilee Branches. We had our Area Authority over the Middle East and Africa -
Elder Dennis Neuenschwander and his wife Joni with us. His "desk" is in the Church Office in Salt Lake City ......he travels many miles to visit his area. We have many different cultures in our district. We have members in our Branches from Russia, South America, the Phillipines and countries of Europe. Bob was responsible for having all the equipment for translation ready and working for the members who needed translation for Spanish and Russian. There were over 30 members who used the equipment. He had 2 wonderful people from the Galilee Branch help with the actual translation. He was complimented by the members and translators for being so organized and it helped them all to feel the Spirit and enjoy the Conference.
Along with our District Conference there was a Humanitarian conference being held here at the Jerusalem Center. There were 7 couples who serve as Humanitarian missionaries through out the Mid-East staying here for a week. As the housing couple, we are the JC concierge.......we assign rooms, help with anything guest need and make sure they know the cafeteria schedule. It was interesting to meet these wonderful couples and learn of their service and what their duties require.
After the general session we had a women's conference which I conducted as the District R.S. President. We had a sweet spirit there with Sister Neuenschwander telling about how she met her husband about a year ago and how being a divorcee she didn't know if he would ever call her.. he did and they dated about a year and were just married just this past August. She told how it feels and the adjustment to being married to a G.A. We did some calculations and he has to be at least 20 years older than her. Sharon Eubank showed a power point presentation on many of the projects the Church is involved in. In the past the branches have been given food assignments but this time Bob and I made arrangements with our chef's to have a lovely meal for the members. They really enjoyed being treated special.
