Today we finished up the interviews in Yakima. Elders Rosenkrantz and Barbour are the Zone Leaders here. They are personable and fun and loved by everyone.
Elder Rosenkrantz: I have a pretty good gift–I don’t like to make others feel bad about themselves, or hurt others. I can recognize when the Spirit is present or not, I’m pretty patient and I’m forgiving. That (talking about this) was awful.
Elder Barbour: I feel like I can love people. When I set my mind to something, I do it. (except exercising). I love basketball and golfing. I like to know how to do a lot of different things.
