Presidential Welcome
A warm welcome was accorded the Mission president, Baden Pere of Auckland, when he visited the Gisborne District of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints, recently. Members came from all over the district (which extends from Wairoa to East Cape) to attend the function. It was held in the Stout Street chapel.
