Mission Conference in Leipzig

This is the Leipzig Chapel where the Conference was held.

We are so glad we found our cousins Elijah and Marjorie Cardon in Germany and it was wonderful to see them again at this conference.


This is Elder and Sister Kearon with President Borcherding. Elder Kearon is an area authority from Great Britain.


The Elders. This was Elder Stevens last day before he went home. An awesome missionary.


The Sisters. Some of them sang a beautiful song and and Elder Walstrum did a great job on the piano. Love the talent and that they share it.


We want to share with you some of the teachings and advice from the Kearons. They were very inspirational and the spirit was strong.

Sister Kearon:
" The spirit that we feel when we are together in this way is all that matters. This spirit has washed over you time and time again and you don't realize how different it is for those who don't feel this spirit"
"Remember what you have and can bring to others"
"Read D&C 27:15-18 Everything is for your protection except for one weapon, "The sword of my Spirit" Don't choose to put your weapon down when you are discouraged, instead of complaining, you kneel down.

Elder Kearon:
"In Alma 62:41, many were hardened and many were softened because of the War they fought. It is a choice, we choose whether we are hardened or softened. Unless we choose to be softened we will harden. We can choose our mood. We can choose how we react. We can plan and choose the night before how our day will go. Never be the victim of your circumstances.
