Orientation/Arriving and Departing Missionary Testimony Meeting

ONE DEPARTING MISSIONARY

FOUR NEW MISSIONARIES

 After picking up our new missionaries at the airport and a quick stop at the temple site, the missionaries come to the mission office for orientation, filling out forms, driving lesson, and a 

Mission President interview!

Elder Wilson is our only departing missionary this transfer - we will miss him!

 Elder Kabisa

 Elder Mabiala

 Our new missionaries are informed on safety, boardings, health insurance, among other things at the mission office

 Elder Fullmer (AP) helps instruct the missionaries

We have added to our missionary handbook, and have the new missionaries write

 "Book of Blessings" on the front. We want them to remember that the handbook is not full of restrictions, but rather it is a book full of blessings and protection if they are obedient!

 Our new missionaries come to the mission home where I do my portion to welcome them to our mission family. I instruct them on what to do if they fall ill, and how to keep healthy while on mission. After instructing them, we have dinner and a testimony meeting before they find out where they assigned and who their trainer will be!

 Elder Kabisa shares his testimony

 Elder Mabiala bears witness

 Elder Fullmers bears testimony

 Elder McCoy bears his testimony

 Elder Homer bears his witness. We will miss Elder Homer as an Assistant to the President. He has served as an Assistant longer than any other assistant since we have been in South Africa.  He has been a great example and leader in the mission.

 Elder Wilson will finish mission in two days! He bears his witness and testimony. He came to us in October from the Madagascar Mission when missionaries were evacuated from that country. We have been blessed to have him in South Africa.

 Elder Hyer bears his testimony

 Elder Simayile (AP) shares his testimony

 Elder Hyer will serve in Bohlokong, Mabiala will serve in Bethlehem, McCoy will serve in Osizweni 2, and Kabisa will serve in Kwadabeka

Back: our faithful Assistants, Elders Homer, Fullmer, Simayile.  (Elder Jantjies has also been a fabulous Assistant, but he stayed in his area and will be serving as a trainer!)
