Missionaries

New missionaries arriving (13 new missionaries) at the Helsinki Airport October 28th.

New Missionary Training at the mission home.  Five weeks after arrival of new missionaries, we bring them and their companions back to the mission home for 3 days of training.

Each month, normally the last Friday of the month, is Mission Leadership Training (MLC) with all of the zone leaders, sister training leaders, assistants and Luana.  We normally gather around our dining room table for the meeting.  This is a wonderful time of learning.

Sister missionaries dressed warm on their bikes.  This is in Oulu, north Finland.

We had “Mission Tour” in mid-November.  Elder and Sister Teixeira and us.  This is taken in the Haaga Chapel
