This is an authentic and original audio recording of the SEM handover meeting held in Edinburgh in the month of July in 1987. The handover was from President & Sister Dunn to President and Sister Banks. It includes discussion and conversations between Elder Ballard and President Banks with President Van Hagen. Elder Ballard is Presiding. 

President and Sister Dunn had left the meeting at this point. There is a Q&A section in the meeting and from what I remember there was some discussion around the Geography of the Book of Mormon. 

Please forgive the quality and the structure. This is the first time I have tried to convert a recording from a 30 year old plastic cassette to a digital sound file, and I think I have the back end first. No the first time I have done things back end first.

There are a couple of gaps of around 2 mins or so at a couple of points, this is simply down to my fantastic sounds engineering skills. If there are any budding sound engineers out there who can take this recording and improve it, please do so. 

On a personal note, this audio brought back many wonderful memories of my mission experience. In the month of July 1987, I was a young 21 yr old missionary sat somewhere near the back during this meeting.

To my fellow missionaries, members across Scotland and especially to President and Sister Banks, we love you and will always be grateful for the extraordinary life changing experience of serving you and serving with you. 

Sincerely, 

Ian Wilks 
Elder Wilks
