  " Let us all press on in the work of the Lord..." Our powerful missionary preparation class at Bardege building.  They have become our family members and we rejoice when they get their calls to serve the Lord Missionary Preparation at Gulu. Elders Robinson and Hope. These two Elders at Gulu Ward could not attend class on Saturday because they work, but they wanted a solution because they want to learn and prepare so we met them on Sundays.
