Learning and Making New Friends

Here Elder Jones (Blaine) is hanging out at our new digs here at the MTC. We live in a dorm type building with about 40-50 rooms. We have our queen-size bed, a desk, a couple of closets, and a bathroom. We don't spend a lot of time here.

Here we are with our new friends, Elder and Sister Kroff from Tooele, Utah. They are going to the Argentina, Buenos Aires, North Mission. They are also working in the office. They will leave on Tuesday, March 10, in order to arrive in time to go on a mission tour with a general authority and the mission president. It has been fun getting to know them. They will be a great asset to their mission. (Sorry about the closed eyes. The other pictures we took at the map were fuzzy.)

Here we are with our mission district during the first week. The couples (starting the far left) are Elder and Sister McGrath from Australia (going to Australia), Elder and Sister Kroff (going to Argentina), Elder and Sister Hart from Rexburg, Idaho (going to Mexico City), and us.

Elder and Sister Reed from Boise, Idaho, who are the youngest couple in our group. They are going to the Philippines, Cebu, Mission. It has been a real pleasure to get to know them. We share much in common. The young missionaries will really enjoy working with them.

With our group as we are being trained on the computers for our responsibilities as office missionaries. We are learning a great deal, but also having a great time doing it. The other people we have had the opportunity of working with are amazing.

Today it is snowing. I wish I had a picture for you, but maybe on our next post.
