Twenty-one new missionaries arrived in the
California Riverside Mission on July 14, 2015!
Here, the hermanas from the Mexico City MTC (CCM) arrive.
In an effort to have the missionaries arrive in the mission less tired we
tried a new schedule on this transfer. The plan was that both the Provo
and Mexico MTC groups would arrive about 4:00 pm instead of 9:00 am
so they wouldn't have to get up so early. The group from the Provo MTC
arrived about 4:00. Somehow the sisters from Mexico City got scheduled to
arrive at 1:00 pm. This meant the sisters from Mexico had been up since
1:00 am (11:00 pm Monday California time!). Their luggage got did not arrive
when they did. By the time they got to the mission home they had
been awake fifteen and half hours. We fed them a light lunch then sent
them up to take naps! Eventually everyone was gathered together
for dinner. After dinner we all gathered for their first mission
field meeting.
Wednesday morning we headed to the mission office for breakfast,
training, lunch, and testimony meeting where the new elders and
sisters met their companions for the first time.
Afterward there was time for dessert and getting acquainted.
