The president invited all of the senior couples to come to Edmonton this week for Zone Conference. A BBQ was held yesterday for the senior missionaries at the Appleton's cottage on Half Moon Lake. Brother Appleton is a member of the mission presidency. The cottage is on the lake, but lacks running water (think outhouse). It was a nice evening.

Elder and Sister Venturi stayed with us so they could attend Zone Conference. Their home is in Carlsbad, CA. They are serving in Yellowknife, Northwest Territory which is the farthest point north in the mission (15 hour drive time from Edmonton).
