Yesterday our mission, CA: Oakland/San Francisco Mission, joined with the CA: Santa Rosa Mission in a memorable meeting at the Interstake Center in Oakland. Elder L. Tom Perry of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and his wife and Elder Richard J. Maynes of the Presidency of the Seventy and his wife were the featured speakers. Between the two missions, there were over four hundred missionaries in attendance. Both Elder Perry and Elder Maynes were very warm and personable in their approach. It was just a wonderfully uplifting meeting.
Prior to the meeting and following it, Tom and I were on the lookout for JR's cousin, Hermana Anderson, who is presently serving in the Santa Rosa Mission. I was the first to spot her. Atleast I thought this tall sister looked like the pictures I'd seen of her. We worked our way through the crowd and sure enough--it was Sister Courtney (Coco) Anderson. We have a picture to prove we met her.
Thanks for tracking down Courtney for me.
