It's been a wonderful week! We just completed a 2-day mission tour with Elder Paul Pieper from the First Quorum of Seventy and his wife, Lisa. They spoke to half the mission on each of the two days they were here and taught us many incredible things to help lift the missionaries and the mission. More about that in our next issue of the GRITS...and from your sons and daughters in their emails home on Monday. We also have a great week ahead with 4 days of zone conferences.
Also new this week--7 visa waiters arrived, awaiting visas for Russia, Brazil, Columbia and Mexico (one of their visas already came through...yesterday!) We love having them here--if even for a short time--joining the 4 still waiting for their visas to Brazil. What a blessing they all are to this mission!
We also received word that our missionaries will have some involvement in the public tours for the newly-renovated Atlanta Temple. We're still awaiting a schedule with details...but it will be an exciting time here and the members are all about inviting their friends to "come and see!"
If you received a copy of the Church News and saw that our replacements (to arrive by July 1st) were not listed...but are "to be announced"--don't worry! There will be someone called to lead this mission come summer. We would love to stay, but this is a 3-year calling...and we promise to exit gracefully :) We are excited for those to follow, as they will be blessed with the best group of missionaries anywhere!
Best wishes to you all...and thank you for sharing your wonderful missionaries with us--they're amazing!
Love,
President & Sister King
And a reminder of some missionary rules:
Missionaries are only to send emails to their parents...and you are free to forward those on to other family members and friends. The missionaries' "myldsmail.net" addresses are not to be shared. Thanks so much for supporting your missionaries as they adhere to missionary guidelines...it will help them stay focused on their missions.
