Welcome New Missionaries!

We welcomed eight new missionaries into the Mission on Tuesday. We know they will contribute to the work in a BIG way! We picked them up, and most had to get through the night without their luggage which was left behind in Atlanta, Georgia because there was too much weight on the plane. But everybody was cheery, and just happy to get a good nights rest. We love our new Transfer training schedule which includes Wednesday for training new missionaries. A morning of finance, bike, car, and apartment training, and then a break for lunch at Genghis Grill.

Then a quick tour of the Mission office, and more training on a missionary's first twelve weeks, stress management, family history, and church tours. Following that we gave them a missionary experience in Tallahassee. It was great to meet together afterward and share experiences. Of course this morning, transfer day to their new areas was quite inclement. Welcome to Florida!

Every missionary was drenched by the time they were loaded and ready to go, but they were all smiling! You've just got to love this work.
