Another Group of Great Missionaries Arrives


Last Thursday we had the largest group ever arrive!  We have 104 missionaries in the MTC and we have 104 beds for missionaries. We have people here with 31 different mother languages!!!
When the missionaries first arrive, they meet with Elder And Sister Tibbitts, check them in, and find out if they have check out all of their Medical Paperwork.  They receive a warm welcome!

Then they  wait in line for an interview with President Brubaker.

Sister Brubaker loves meeting with the missionaries!  They come so excited to serve the Lord for two years!  She makes sure they have the physical needs they will need as a missionary.  Elder Assoumou is Sister Eyamo's brother!  Sister Eyamo was here in the MTC with the last group!  

Missionaries are asked to bring their 4 Generation Pedigree Chart with them.  If they don't have it, we have them fill it out here.
Elder Yates is from the United States

Elder Ridell is from Stockholm, Sweden


Sister Droudjai and Sister Kinkela meet for the first time!  They are companions!
Sister Kortsipka and Sister Ilekhue  come from Nigeria.

Elder and Sister Stutz are serving as our Family History Specialists.  They help the missionaries add all information in Family Search  on the computer.  
We see big smiles, as missionaries find that they can do the work in the temple for a loved one, while they are at the MTC!

Who Can Recite the Missionary Purpose?



Tomorrow it will be to the CLASSROOMS!!!!!!!!!
