New Arrivals

Maryland Baltimore Mission’s Newest Missionaries

IMG_3162

Today at 4:00 the new arrivals came to the Richards’ home from the airport.  There were TWENTY new missionaries.  It was so much fun to take their pictures, eat dinner together, and play a group game.  But the best part was listening to their testimonies.  Wow!  You could feel the spirit in the room.  All of those new missionaries, gathered together and sharing their testimonies and why they decided to serve a mission.  Some because their friends came out, others because their parents wanted them too and some because they felt it was the right thing for them.  The best part is that they are here in the Maryland Baltimore Mission.  It makes it harder, in some ways, to go home soon because they are all so wonderful and I’d love to spend time with them.

An excellent dinner
