On October 7 we met a bus with seven eager new missionaries. We have Elder Jackson (California), Elder Shackelford (North Carolina) Elder Thomas (Kansas City), Elder Bautitsta (Philippines) Sister Fort (Texas) Sister Pence (Iowa) and Sister Acal (Philippines).
After trips to the CR (Comfort Room aka bathroom) we sat down to breakfast which consisted of Breakfast Rice and Cinnamon Rolls. We also had a huge bunch of bananas--fresh from the tree.
Later we conducted a quick orientation while President interviewed each missionary in his office. We will have these missionaries and their trainers back in two weeks for a more extensive training.
By mid-morning all missionaries gathered from all regions of the mission for our transfer meeting. And our new missionaries were off to their new areas. (They had to be super tired because they came right off the plane and then took an overnight bus trip! I'm not sure how much good they could do that first few days but they were eager to get to work.)
We truly believe Heavenly Father has blessed our mission with these new, amazing missionaries!
