Today the mission presented President and Sister Albright with the most incredible picture ever.  It was a picture of the DC temple made out of 4200 small pictures of their missionaries and of baptisms the last 3 years.  At the end of the conference, they had a receiving line and every missionary came up and gave

them hugs and handshakes and they got to say their good-byes.

~June 12, 2012- Leadership Meeting- Chain Of Command~

All Zone Leaders, District Leaders, Assistants, office elders, and the 4 Sisters who arrange for the exchanges come together for a leadership training.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sister Albright instructed on the CHAIN ON COMMAND. Each District Leaders had to write the name of each member of their district on a white strip of paper. Then connect them into a chain. Then they put their name on a blue strip and put it at the top. IT IS THEIR JOB TO GET INFO TO ALL OF THE CHAIN THEY ARE CONNECTED TO AND TO LOVE, TEACH AND INSPIRE THESE MISSIONARIES. 

Then the Zone Leaders wrote their names on orange strips and connected it to the 2 or 3 District Leaders over whom they preside. IT IS THEIR JOB TO COMMUNICATE WITH AND INSPIRE THESE DISTRICT LEADERS.

Then the Assistants wrote their names on green strips of paper and connected them to the 8 companionships of zones leaders over whom they preside. IT IS THE ASSISTANTS JOB TO COMMUNICATE WITH, LOVE, TEACH AND INSPIRE THESE ZONE LEADERS.

Lastly, President Albright wrote his name on a yellow strip of paper. The assistants loops were connected through his. IT IS HIS JOB TO COMMUNICATE, LOVE, TEACH, INSPIRE EVERY MISSIONARY IN THE DC SOUTH MISSION. 

This can only be accomplished when EVERY LEADER IS DOING THEIR JOB.
