The New Missionaries receive their assignments- Off they go--------

The BIG DAY has arrived. All trainers of new missionaries have arrived in the Mission Home. We sing a moving chorus of "Called To Serve", the President has a few remarks and now we learn where our new missionaries are off to serve and who their great trainers and companions are---- Each trainer comes into the mission home to greet their companion and help escort them to their new area- what an exciting morning and occasion.

  1. Sister Nielson, this puts tears in my eyes. It's so exciting, makes me nostalgic and reminds me of 1. how excited I was when I met my trainer and 2. how excited I was to meet my trainee. I LOVE your blog. Thank you thank you for keeping it updated and for helping me stay connected to Poland and how much I love it. I hope to meet you someday, I think you're fabulous.
