May 2010 Zone Conferences . . .

This past month was a special Zone Conference in the mission. We were joined in our travels by Elder and Hna Limburg who are serving as the Area Medical Director in Santiago. Their home is in Fillmore, Utah and Elder Limburg is a retired physician and Hna Limburg is a nurse. They will serve for 18 months in Chile and are in charge of all the medical needs of the missionaries in the 9 Chilean missions. They are an incredible resource and help for us. They came to our mission in May to help vaccinate our 168 missionaries against the flu and made a presentation on health to all our missionaries. It was great fun being with them and we are so grateful for their help.
