THE FIRST INTAKE GROUP ARRIVES IN THE NEW YEAR!

WOW ... IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE NOW BEEN IN AFRICA FOR A YEAR!

We went through another Intake process this past week and we are excited to have so many wonderful new missionaries.

The Abinadi District who are learning French will be with us an extra 3 weeks and we are very happy about that. We had a little 3 week celebration.




The Haglands, wonderful senior missionaries, bring a couple of missionaries to the MTC from the area where they are assigned in Ghana








The Intake process begins again with filling out forms, reviewing documents and checking immunizations



Elder and Sister Hill from Bountiful Utah are our invaluable office couple as they oversee the process.














Elders Swearingen and Carlock have been traveling for many hours to get here from the United States. 



 

 Missionaries fill out some forms and set up their Email accounts




Elders McKay, Blum and Turner prepare to stay another 3 weeks and continue on as Zone Leaders





                Kenya, Mozambique, Kenya and Kenya






Many of the Missionaries come long circuitous routes to the MTC some requiring 1 or 2 nights in airports, hotels or on airplanes  as they move to the next leg of the trip.
Being sleepy is understandable






This group comes from 14 different countries


Rehydration after long flights is important to the health of the missionaries



Then the wait begins as President interviews each missionary

Lemons here are green and look like broccoli on the outside?
yet they still taste like lemons.
