On February 4, 2026, we welcomed 19 new missionaries to the Tennessee Knoxville Mission. These missionaries are going to do great things in the TKM!
.
We also had two service missionaries join the mission in February, Elder Chugg and Elder Doherty, and we will add their pictures soon.
As always, the departing missionaries made some great welcome posters for our arriving missionaries.
.
The Farragut building was being used to measure and cut the carpet for the Tennessee Knoxville Temple, so we met at the West Hills building for our new missionary orientation.
.
The highlight of the morning is announcing who will be training our new missionaries. We have great trust in these trainers and know they will give their best efforts to helping our new missionaries get off to a great start.

There is an incredible transition happening in the Tennessee Knoxville Mission. 19 new missionaries with 21 trainers = 40 missionaries engaged in training with this group. With the 58 missionaries still involved in training from last transfer, we have 98 missionaries involved in training! That’s just under half the mission.
.
Looking forward to seeing the great things these missionaries accomplish win the TKM!
