Yesterday we had the most amazing training meeting. All of the first year missionaries from the Martin and Willie Handcart sites gathered together and received training from our "Mission President" - which is a Director here - Elder Fenn and his wife are our directors. He counseled us to live our lives so that the Holy Ghost could direct our efforts for good and promised that because we are serving our families would be blessed. I remember feeling those missionary blessings each time we had a missionary serving - the blessings were so strong in our family as our son's served their missions. Now it is our turn to serve and allow those blessings to reach our children and their families.
Today all the first year missionaries were on work crew - we stretched out for two miles and cleaned up the highway near the visitor's center. It is an "adopt a highway" program. The wind blew very hard - we all looked like we were dressed for winter with so many clothes on we could hardly bend over to pick up trash - but it was great to be out there with our new friends and we learned so much from them.
