YSA Conference for the Russia Vladivostok Mission


We came back from Korea to our long-awaited-for YSA Conference for the whole mission. It was here in our Khabarovsk! We went to a camp just about 30 minutes from our church. Everyone was so excited to go and sleep in a dormitory at the camp. So many were involved in the planning and preparation and it was all worth it! Everyone who attended the conference was spiritually lifted, friendships were strengthened and new ones made. Even our Mission President and Sister Pratt with his 1st Counselor, Pres. and Sister Zviagolsky were able to attend. Bro. Drachyov, who is one of assistants to the Europe East Area CES Director, Henry Kosak, and lives in Novasibirsk, was able to come also. The YSA are AWESOME! We heard their talks, their testimonies, saw their talents and were constantly amazed at their service to one another!!!
