We love these new missionaries already!
We can feel their spirit and excitement to begin this marvelous work.
They stayed with us all day long and were engaged and prepared for all that we taught them.
What a delight it has been today.
Here are some highlights from our day together !
We began this morning in the mission home with a big breakfast and introductions. I told them I was going to take a quick picture before we started our training, and they all raced to their bags, to grab their Books of Mormon for the picture. Don't they look fabulous!!!
I began our training by introducing missionary apartments,
missionary health, their daily missionary schedule,
and learning English. We are encouraging every
missionary who does not speak English
to set specific goals here in the mission to learn all
they can while they are here and have the resources
and help to learn to speak the English language.
There is much to focus on and prepare for.
A quick peek in on President Clayton
as he gets ready to interview these
new missionaries for the first time.
One more picture at the mission home.
On our way to the Union Building by the Temple.
They started so wide awake, and our
40 minute drive lulled them into a
quick nap. Good for them!
President Clayton greeting the trainers and office staff,
who have been waiting for us to arrive.

We could not do all we do without
their help!
