On July 9th, we welcomed 16 new missionaries to the Tennessee Knoxville Mission. We are really excited about this group of missionaries and the opportunity to serve side-by-side with each of them.
.
The welcome posters made by our departing missionaries always help create a great welcome to the mission.
.
Our favorite part of the day is to introduce these new missionaries to their trainers. The direction given to us as mission leaders is that only the best missionaries should serve as trainers. They play a huge role in helping these new missionaries get started in the right way and to help them through any initial challenges they face in adjusting to missionary life.
