Ibadan and Ife Zone Conference

We went to Ibadan with President and Sister Jones on the 1st of December so that we could attend the Zone Conference/Christmas Party with the missionaries that serve up there. Many of them have served down in the Lagos area with us, so it was fun to get to see them all again. December 2nd seems a little early to have a Christmas party, but we are not allowed out on the roads until after Jan. 10 because of security. There are more robberies, police stopping to "check your papers" and expecting some money in return for a quick release. The usual stuff - just lots more of it.
This is the Ibadan zone. The Elders all bought matching ties. They couldn't find enough in a red or green, so they opted for black.
The sisters got matching shirts and wore their suit jackets if they had one. It was probably 95 degrees that day - no jacket for me.
Elder Ohuegbe was our mission secretary, and he is so nice. He was happy to get transferred to Ife and be out of the office. These 4 sisters are in his zone - he was the zone leader. They all bought fabric so they could have matching outfits made. Elder Ohuegbe got called to be the new A.P., and he is back in Lagos. We are all happy to have him back.
