No more rental cars?!

Hi Moms,
I got a kick out of our son's last email. Here's what he said... maybe your son will be going to this upcoming zone conference? Sounds like it's going to be huge.

"The 20th of Feb our zone is all going to be up in Waimea on the northern part of big island for a zone conference. Its MY turn again to conduct the meeting lol so thats going to be fun....I like that job, not terribly difficult and you can throw in a few jokes or thoughts pretty much whenever you want :) This last weekend was pretty crazy. President Peterson and his wife flew over to our stake conference and since ALL the rental car places were booked for the next 3 weeks!! (has never happened since ive been here lol) he had Elder Johnson and I cheuffer (idk how to spell it) him around town for the next two days. The (stake) conference was really really good. Our mission president is such a powerful speaker and has a great personality! the guy is pretty much amazing. On saturday there were a bunch of leadership training meetings and elder johnson and I went to those to see if theres any questions about the missionaries in the area or complaints lol (very few :) The whole training sessions on sat were all about the "15 name" plan or program that was introduced by Elder L. Tom Perry. There were a lot of great ?'s and it got everyone on the same page now:) Were excited to see where it all goes. How has that been in our ward in coquille? do you guys know anything about the "15 name" program thing?"

Any takers on the 15 name plan? I haven't heard of it in our hometown in Oregon. We are working on a program from our Eugene Stake Mission President though. Hope everyone is doing great!
