Our Last New Arrival Group

June Arrivals

Tonight Elder Boehrer and I experienced our last new arrival group.  Yep, we never again in the Maryland Baltimore Mission be at a new arrival night at the Richards.  We enjoy meeting the new missionaries and getting to know them.  One of the best parts of the evening is hearing each of the missionaries’ testimonies.  They are so excited to be in the mission.  They have a lot ahead of them.  Most will make it, but some will not.  That is the way of life.  You learn so much on your mission and one of them is to learn how to be obedient.  That can be a hard lesson. “Heavenly Father never said it would be easy, but it would be worth it.”
