New Missionaries arrive! Tuesday April 10, 2019

Tuesday April 10 we welcomed new missionaries into the Texas Houston Mission.  They came to the mission home, ate dinner, got acquainted, shared testimonies, were interviewed by President Peterson.  Sister missionaries stayed over at the mission home the Elders went to stay with
Elders!  Wednesday morning they were all reunited at the mission home for breakfast and we all left to see the Houston Temple then to the TC Jester church building for training, meet their trainers have lunch and more training before going to their areas to do missionary work.  We are so grateful they are here and for the testimonies they have shared with us and will continue to share with all they come in contact with.

Here they come!
