December Arrivals meet their trainers

After breakfast missionaries travel to the mission office for more training and to meet their trainers.

So happy that Hermana Figueroa finally arrived safe and sound from Mexico

Arriving Missionaries Dec 2016

We take missionaries to the overlook at Prospect Park in Redlands and President and Sister Dixon speak briefly. The missionaries then take a minute to go to a spot in the park and ponder the significance of this day. We then go to the mission home for lunch.

After interviews, missionaries begin training at the Wabash Stake Center and they visit the temple grounds next door.
