Day of Training

The new arrivals and their trainers spent a day of training at the Mission Home.  Then a relaxing evening of food, visiting, and singing.

 

Elder Mahanzu and Elder Chenani

Elder Torrie training the new arrivals with trainer Elder Christensen looking on.  Safety issues.  Financial issues.  Housing issues.  All things the new missionaries need to know.

Elder Torrie training new missionaries Sister Acii, Elder Ncube, and Elder Ngele.

Me with Elder Torrie and Elder Wafula just after we performed "Father Abraham" for the missionaries.  I will put that video on another post.

So fun to work with Sister Msane.  She's got a great sense of humor and a love of the gospel and of the missionaries.

Where are President and Sister Msane????

There they are!  And here are all the new missionaries standing next to their trainers.  Back L-R: new Elder Ncube, Elder Chenani, Elder Mwashi, new Elder Ngele, Elder Christensen, new Elder Shongwe, new Elder Breidenbaugh, Elder Wafula.  Front: Sister Njoroge, President and Sister Msane, new Sister Acii

Now just the new missionaries with President and Sister Msane.  L-R: Elder Ncube, Elder Ngele, Elder Shongwe, Sister Acii, Elder Breidenbaugh

Elder Wafula loves music and he loves to lead

Now President Msane has joined the group.  They are singing "The Army of Helaman."  President Msane, being a convert, never went to Primary and never learned this song.  Many of the Africans are also converts and never knew the Primary songs.

I'm never in pictures so I asked for this one to be taken.

And this one.  I love these missionaries.  The sister missionaries had left for their areas so were not here this evening.

More ice cream for an evening snack.  Elder Wafula, Elder Chenani, Elder Mwashi, Elder Christensen
