On June 16, 2020, the Senior Missionaries of the Europe Area Office (serving remotely in the USA), gathered at the home of Elder Frank and Sister Robyn Ballard in Draper, Utah for a Zone Conference. Only 5 couples stayed in Frankfurt, the rest were sent home and have been working remotely from home.
The Ballards have a beautiful backyard. We met outside so we could enjoy each other's company and still practice social distancing. The weather was perfect. The food was potluck. Everyone had a great time and truly enjoyed being together.
It was a huge change from being at home and working via telephone, computer and video conference. We have not been able to interact personally with each other since we left Frankfurt in March 2020.
We had the opportunity to hear reports from different departments on how they were serving remotely to carry on the work of the Europe Area. We also discussed the possibility of some being able to return to Frankfurt. During this pandemic, we have learned that with the Lord's help, we CAN do much more than everyone thought possible.
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
