President and Sister McConkie kept an amazing pace around the mission finishing Zone Conferences, Firesides and other assignments. At their last Zone Conference which was held in Columbia, they were presented with appreciations including a quilt made by the sisters in the Mission Office with quilt blocks made by missionary couple sisters in the mission.
Sister McConkie has a mission tradition of "cutting the ties" as each elder leaves the mission. Current
missionaries donated their ties en mass at the last Zone Conferences of the McConkie reign.
Returning home, we celebrated Elder Gibson's birthday.
The "cake" was cherry vanilla ice cream with a cookie sent by Patty. Dad still added milk!!!
His birthday and Father's Day were great days having heard from family and feeling loved.
