28 Day Missionaries

On the 30th of July, exactly 28 days in the mission field, we brought our newest missionaries and their trainer/companions in to the mission home for a day of instruction, friendship, sharing, and most appreciatively, lunch!  There is so much happening on Arrival day, that we find it's very helpful to meet again 3-4 weeks later to review, refresh, and learn some more.  And it's really great to see batch-mates and catch up on the experiences of being in the field.  The Trainers also have some time to compare notes and gain insights from each other about training.  It is a very enjoyable day and President Rahlf and I look forward to being with our missionaries.  We are all rejuvenated by these few hours together.

Gathering in the Mission Home

We begin the day with a 

scripture study led by 

President Rahlf

There are sessions for both the new missionaries and the trainers.  One is taught by the Assisitants, and the other by President and Sister Rahlf.  We switch so we have time with both groups.


And then lunchtime--
provided by the wonderful
Sister Uy.

After lunch we have addition counsel and instruction by our senior couples: 
Elder and Sister Campbell, Elder and Sister Shorter, and Elder and Sister Honeycutt.


Then it's time for talking
and pictures.

"It's a great day to be a missionary!"

together for your good, if ye walk uprightly and remember the 

covenant wherewith ye have covenanted one with another."
