They are here !!!!!!! part 1 (11-27-17)

This morning, an hour after we said goodbye to our seven outstanding missionaries returning home... We welcomed 21 new missionaries coming from the Mexico City MTC!  Twenty One Missionaries!
What a beautiful sight they were walking through those airport doors!
Later in the afternoon, we greeted 3 additional new missionaries coming from the Provo MTC, and still another Elder coming from the Dominican Republic MTC.  One more Elder will arrive on Tuesday morning coming in from Brazil.
We are thrilled beyond measure to have each and every one of these new missionaries join us here in the Mexico Guadalajara Mission.  We are looking forward to getting them settled and trained in the coming days.  There is much to do and we are just the mission to do it!
Hoorah for our Mexico Guadalajara Mission!!!!
Here are our new missionaries arriving.
