Time for Orienting Again

These missionaries came looking so sharp for their Mission Orientation. They arrived in the SAJM on May 12th. They have 2 weeks in the mission field under their belt.......................Elder Ngalizi, Elder Tima, Elder Sibanda and Elder Gwaka

We start with an opening song,..and Elder Jada is leading the music.

Good singers......these are some of our trainers.
Elders Malapula, Kwaibaisi, Pick-Up, Broadhead, Reese and Deichman

The mission purpose is recited:
"My purpose as a missionary is to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end." ~Preach My Gospel

My favorite part is having the companions introduce each other. You feel the love they have developed in such a short time. It is awesome to hear them share what they admire about each other.

Elder Tima from the Marshall Islands is sharing how much he loves his companion.

Our awesome Assistants helped to create such an awesome presentation for Orientation.

After the training, everyone got to tour the mission home. They really loved the transfer board and finding their pictures and seeing all 175 missionaries in the SAJM.

Elder Broadhead with Elder Worton. We love these great missionaries.
