Mike's First Missionary Companions - Aug 25, 2018

Michael is serving in his first companionship with Elders Burrows and VanDyke, who are the zone leaders. The mission president assigns missionary leaders to help him direct the work and to help the missionaries in their area to successfully fulfill their purpose. Among the leadership assignments in the mission are trainers, senior companions, district leaders, zone leaders, and assistants to the president. These two elders are zone leaders and Michael's trainers. Michael sure looks tall. With dress shoes on, he usually comes in around 6'5", so I guess he is tall.
