Return and Report Thur. January 21, 2010

We held Return and Report on January 21,2010. This is an opportunity for the recently arrived missionaries to come back to the mission home and report to us how they are doing after their first 3-4 weeks in the mission field. This group had really great reports. They had wonderful experiences to share and testimonies had already grown even stronger. We hold a meeting downstairs at the mission home. The office staff gives more detailed instructions on a variety of subjects: finances, rent, cars, health, mail, etc. Then Elders Ross and Bell gave very inspiring talks about setting mission goals and the importance of study time. Each new missionary then had the opportunity to share their feelings and experiences of the last month. Pres. and I conclude with some video clips from "facing Giants" and "The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier" with comparison to missionary work and working their very hardest and being diligent in the work. We then had Hawaiian haystacks for lunch. It was fun to visit and get to know them a little better. The newest group: Kneeling: Elders Kelley, Walls, Coleman, Tamir, Taufoou, and Bell

  1. Thank you for taking the time to make this blog, and posting all the pictures! Elder Franzwa is a friend of ours, and he told us about it. We're looking forward to reading about the latest happenings of the missionaries.
