A Message from President and Sister Hall

Hello from Sunny Southern California!
 
Well, technically it was a bit hazy today, but it is always sunny for us when new missionaries arrive!
 
Everyone arrived safe and sound, and as you can see from the picture, we had a large group—24 new missionaries and 12 of those are sisters.  It may be the record  number of sisters arriving in the history of the mission.
 
President Hall, the assistants and some of our senior couples met them at the airport and took them to the San Fernando Stake Center. 
There they had some pizza, filled out some paperwork, watched a safety video and then we sent them out with a great temporary companion to find people to teach.
They did a great job.  I’m sure you’ll get the details from your missionary, but we love that first day of finding and talking with everyone.  Miracles and baptisms happen because of the efforts of the new missionaries who’ve been here only hours.
 
Tomorrow is the transfer meeting.  Everyone in the mission who is being moved to a new area will be together to receive their assignments.  Over half of the mission will meet tomorrow and it is a great way to feel a part of this great mission.  President Hall has just finished interviewing all the new missionaries and will spend considerable time tonight on his knees determining which missionary will go with which trainer.  As you pray for your missionary, pray for their companion as well. 
 
We are super excited to love and work with all these wonderful servants of the Lord.
 
Love,
 
Sister Hall
