New Missionary Dinner and Testimony Meeting

At the mission home for dinner and testimony meeting - and most importantly, assignments for our new missionaries!

 When our new missionaries arrive, I offer an mission mom orientation and explain to them that I'm in charge of their health. If they are ill, they call me and I will help them with whatever they are experiencing, including sending them to the doctor if needed! Afterward we eat dinner, and convene in the living room for some words from President Thompson, and then testimonies!

 Everyone bears testimony!  Elder Kabanda begins the testimony portion.

Now it is time for assignments!!! We roll out the mission map and point out the areas where the new missionaries are going.

 Our newest Elders and the Assistants!

 The path leading to the outlook of the temple has a wonderful bench!

After the temple, the Elders go to the office to interview with President Thompson, to do some administrative things, and to take a practice drive!
