August Starting Missionaries

This tired group arrived at 8:00 PM from the MTC. 

Sisters Miura, Watanabe, and Kubota &

 Elders Hakaraia, Hunt, and Hatcher.

Receiving their first challenge instructiions.  They are to take a Book of Mormon, pass along cards and chidashi (English class flyers) on the train with them back into town and try to give them away to someone they talk to.  They learn right off the plane that in the Sendai Mission we talk to everyone!

They finally made it back to the Mission Home where we had a light supper of soup and bread before sending them to bed.

At 7AM the next morning, they were ready for breakfast.

The usual breakfast is pancakes (with homemade berry syrup and mapel syrup),

scrambled eggs, fruit, juice.

After a few hours of training, they met their trainers.  Shimai always love to be together.
