On December 11th, we welcomed 16 new missionaries to the Tennessee Knoxville Mission. They will be serving here for the next 18 or 24 months.
.
We had a great welcoming committee at the airport with he welcome posters made by our departing missionaries.
.
Because it was wet and cold, we held all of the orientation at the stake center in Farragut, though we did get to go out to Market Square and find people to teach.
.
The most exciting part of welcoming new missionaries is assigning them to their trainers and first areas. We know Heavenly Father has great trust and confidence in these trainers. Here are the trainer assignments for these new missionaries.
