The whole Ikeja (Ee-Kay-zshah) Zone posed for a picture for me. Can you spot Elder Krupp? They are a fun bunch of young people, not much different than our American youth. Some are shy and some are not!
A fun thing that President Dyreng did at Zone Conference was to have the Elders and Sisters act out three different Book of Mormon stories. They were divided up into three groups and each group was given a bag of props. They then had 15 minutes to put together a mini-play that told their story. This group told the story of Lehi's family traveling in the wilderness. Nephi, the most righteous and obedient son, breaks his bow. The other brothers, whiners and complainers by the name of Laman and Lemuel, have bows that have lost their "springs" and are not usuable. Nephi, because of his great faith, goes to his father and desires to know where he should go to obtain food. He manages to make a temporary bow and single-handedly hunts the wild beast to take care of the hunger situation.
Nephi (Elder Ma'u, our adorable Tongan Elder) is finally able to bag some "meat"(another Elder over his shoulder) because of his faithfulness.
Our Nigerian missionaries love to sing. The song they chose to sing to represent their Book of Mormon story is "Faith of our Fathers". I didn't get the whole song, but I'm glad to have this record of their talent and enthusiasm.
