getting them trained and prepared to begin their mission service.
Here are some pictures of our day together.
We began with a breakfast of giant pancakes, yogurt and fruit at the mission home.
President Clayton introduced our mission map,
and talked about each area and our eight zones.
We took a quick picture in the back yard
before we began our training here at
the mission home.
While President Clayton interviewed each missionary...
I went through:
*our missionary daily schedule
*missionary apartments
*missionary health
*learning English
Our assistants helped our missionaries, whose first
language is not English, set some specific goals to
help them learn English during their time of service
here in the mission.
Another picture together :)
(I know..)
And we were off to the Union Stake Center
(the building next to the Guadalajara Temple)
The Elders took taxi's
And the sisters came with us in our car again.
After lunch (pizza) Elder Knight, our financial secretary,
spent some time training about mission finances.
Our Assistants went through materials, mission
security, and overall mission behavior and guidelines.
*Note our new missionaries are sitting on the front tables
that are covered with the supplies and materials
they received on this first day of training.
Our new missionaries are ready to finally meet
their first companions and trainers.
And our outstanding trainers are ready as well,
to greet their new companions.
The waiting is over!!
