On your Mark... Get Set... GO!


I feel like I have been with 2000 stripling warriors today.
Oh they are outstanding like the warriors
but I am talking about the sheer volume.... 2000.
I have been in a sea of white shirts and ties all day
and thank goodness a few skirts.

Parents, your missionaries have arrived safely and are now
assigned to their trainers and their new areas.

In between all the training and the bus rides and the luggage moving and the temple site
and the lunch at the mission home 
and the games and the changes all over the mission
...Elders and Sisters coming in from all over 
and swapping locations and companions...

...we ran to the airport to pick up another new Elder from Iquitos.
 This is Elder Rengifo.  He will be with Elder Pacchioni who is 
using his hand to present his new companion to all of you.
They will be great together.
And of course the bookends are our office elders... 
Elder Facer and Elder Glasgow.




As I am typing all these names of our missionaries 
and seeing their faces,
I keep saying over and over with each one
¨Oh, this is the best missionary. 
They are lucky to have them as a trainer"

We are so BLESSED to have the best missionaries in the 
whole wide world.

Also Thank you to the Parents of our new missionaries
We will take good care of them
with a lot of Love and Prayer.
