Some of them got arose at 4:00 this morning and with a long flight and lay overs they arrive pretty hungry. We feed the arriving missionaries plus the office elders, Assistants, The office couples, the counselors and their wives, and Pres and I. So it's always a nice big group. We like to sit around the tables and visit and get to know these wonderful new missionaries fresh from the MTC. And this is a fabulous group. I can tell just from the dinner. Look forward to getting to know them all.
After dinner, we head downstairs for an orientation meeting. We have a wonderful meeting because we get to hear eachof them share their testimonies and tell us a little about themselves.This group was fantastic. Strong, powerful, beautiful testimonies. I'm excited.
