Pandemic Days of the mission field

More Zoom meetings than we can count.  District council, Zone Conference, New Missionary Training, Departing Testimony Meetings, Mission Leadership Council, District Leader Meetings, Interviews etc....  Amazing how the Spirit can work through technology, we had some incredible experiences!


















We spent some time in downtown Pittsburgh one last time.  The streets were quiet since people were still working from home and everything canceled in downtown.
