Mission Leadership Training December 2011

Mission Leadership includes Assistants, Zone Leaders, District Leaders and Sister Trainers.

Watts Towers

The missionaries all like to get their pictures taken in front of Watts Towers so President Baker took me to see them.   They aren't what I expected.  From missionary pictures I thought they were electrical towers but they are actually a 35 year art project done by one man.  The metal frames are covered with cement and then decorated with various types of mosaic -- seashells, tiles, broken bottles, rocks -- whatever he could find.  the artist climbed each layer as it was built and used no heavy machinery.
