Mission President's Seminar

There were 17 other MP there from the 16 California Missions and Hawaii. Elder Christofferson of the Twelve, Elders Clayton and Arnold from the Seventy. 
This is a senior live-at-home missionary couple who just finished their mission here.  Elder Winter is 80 and Sr. Winter is 77. He uses a cane and she walks with a walker.  They move slow but have been powerhouses in the mission.  This is their fourth mission.  The last one was to New Zealand where he pushed her in a wheelchair for 1 1/2 years.  He recently got ill at a Zone Conference.  When the 911 people came, they had a hard time getting his information because he was plying them with questions about God and their beliefs. They have been assigned to help a couple of wards work with their less actives. They have known much success and been loved. They were working every day from 9AM to 
9 PM. What a privilege to have known them!
