All day training 5-15-18

We have had a wonderful day of training with our five new missionaries.
There is much to learn and today has been a perfect day together!
Here are our five new missionaries as we met this morning in the
mission home to begin our training.


With the sisters...


President Clayton with Elder Heredia


Getting ready for our breakfast together.




President Clayton introducing our mission map.


I began our training by going over:
*our missionary daily schedule
*our missionary apartments
*our missionary health
*learning English here in the mission



Elder Cluff and Elder Velazquez introducing 
learning English and setting goals to
accomplish that.

before we left for the church by the Temple.




President Clayton's introduction of 
the four key indicators 
and the three pillars of our mission:
~Worthiness
~Obedience
~Work



Elder Anderson going over mission finances


I went over
*Mission materials and supplies
*Elevating our thoughts cards
I introduced our elevating our thoughts cards..
small, pocket sized cards where our missionaries
can write their own, ten personal uplifting
and inspirational ideas and thoughts to inspire
and help direct their thoughts when they wander
or when they become distracted.
Our Elders keep them in their front shirt
pocket, our sisters in their planners...
for easy and quick access. :)





Meeting their trainers!
Here are our seasoned and prepared trainers!


And here are our excited and anxious
 new missionaries!


The wait is over!

President Clayton’s closing remarks
Doctrine and Covenants 80:3
Wherefore, go ye and preach my gospel,  
whether to the north or to the south, to the east
or to the west, it mattereth not,
for ye cannot go amiss.

One final picture again of our five fabulous
new missionaries!
