It was wonderful to see all of the newly arrived missionaries - now a month old. Here they are with their companions.

And because we didn't have very many new missionaries for you to look at, here are two more sets of companions who were at the meeting.
 |
| President and Sister Matsumori |
 |
| Elder Croft and Elder Brown |
During the meeting we allow the new missionaries to get together to share what they have learned. The trainers also meet to discuss what they can do to be better at helping the new missionaries.

In addition to training and teaching, we also play a game - just to have some fun.

| Yes, this may sound sexist, but Sister Jones and Sister Bowman were not as accurate with their shots. |
 |
| Here is where one of their darts ended. |
 |
| Elder Hansen and Elder Munoz concentrate and Elder Cervantes watches. |
 |
| Elder Brown asks the final question of Elder Broadhead, Elder Salanoa, Elder Hansen and Elder Munoz. |
Yes, there was lunch. However, because of the fewer numbers of missionaries, I cooked the food rather than have someone else help. I have discovered I cannot serve food and take pictures, too. But we'll assume your sons and daughters were more grateful for lunch than for the pictures that would have appeared here.
