Pioneer and Field Missionaries Meeting with the Elders

From memory last year they asked the pioneers pre the meeting if there were any concerns we had.  They addressed these in the local needs.

Ours did that the last 2 years…. It went down like a lead balloon at the meeting. 
 

both years all of us said we’d like to see the Elders in the ministry more, or at least see their support…. It ended in a lecture.

 

luckily I’ve just moved congregations so hoping for a more positive meeting this year as quite a few of the appointed men are pioneers.

We are blessed with elder pioneers.  Most if not all of our elders are ministry focused.  Our Thursday group sometimes has 5 elders out.  My weekend group has 2 elders and 2 MS and they are out nearly every Saturday along with their wives.  It does make a difference if the elders are ministry focused.  

Hope your move has been a good one @TheKid23❤️

Actually, I don't see a Q&A section with this outline for local needs. That may be why it fell like a lead balloon.
