Mission Leadership Council Jan 2015 was the best so far! Many members in the Copperbelt of Zambia are preparing to go to the temple in Johannesburg. Baptisms and more baptisms! Members and missionaries make the mission what it is! with many challenges to work through and many rewards to reap every day.
