This week we received 16 new missionaries from the MTC. They arrived one day late due to an airport closure in Dallas, TX. Two mornings in a row they arose by 2AM to prepare to catch their flight. As you can imagine, they were extremely tired. We could barely keep them awake for orientation meetings, dinner and evening fireside. Fortunately, the next morning they looked rested and refreshed. At the same time, we also received two senior missionaries, Elder and Sister Stillman. They have been assigned to open up a Spanish branch in Waller, TX. We are thrilled to welcome these new missionaries to Texas!
Please enjoy a few pictures of the new missionaries' arrival. We apologize for the delay in getting these pictures posted. Be watching for our next post which will include new missionaries with their trainers following a session at the Houston Temple.
