Our 8 New Missionaries!

Here they come!  Our 8 new missionaries.

We had one new missionary come in last week.

He will be joining us for our training tomorrow.

They are fabulous and eager to begin.

We took the sisters in our car to drive from the 

airport to the church to meet their companions

for the day. 

A quick bite to eat.

And they are off to spend their first

full day of proselyting with a companionship

from here in Guadalajara. 

                   They spent all day, came back to the church for 
a quick bite to eat and went back out, and spent 
the evening with their companionship.

First thing this morning, we met at our mission
home, and began our first full day of training.

We were anxious to hear about their first full day experiences.

They all had many positive and eye opening experiences day one.

We  couldn't be more pleased. 

As President Clayton interviewed each new missionary,

I talked to them about their daily schedule,

their apartments, their health, and the opportunity

for those that do not speak English to learn it

while they serve here in the mission.  We set some goal 

to that end and were able to answer a few questions for them.

President Clayton finished his interviews and we

were able to drive over to the church, 

to continue with our day long training.

We were greeted by the office Elders and 

trainers who have been called to lead, guide, teach 

and train our new missionaries.

Each new missionary will go through a 12 week

 training program with these first training companions.

We continued our training, as the assistants

taught, about security and legal questions, 

and Elder Sherwood, our financial secretary

taught about reimbursements and their mission

 credit card, their visa and pass ports and on and on. 

It is such important information, but the day is 

getting late, and they are saturated with information.

We know... but,  President taught a bit more.

It is a full, full day.

Here are the new missionaries ready to meet their trainers.

Trainers set to meet their new companions 

and..... they've met!

Here we go with the perfect matches..
