Mission Interviews

It's Friday and we are exhausted. What a wonderful week getting to know individual missionaries during our interviews of all 130! I love them and appreciate them. They come from 23 different countries, 28 different states, are as different and unique as all of Gods children. They have their ups and downs but are working hard to be obedient. They love the Lord and his gospel. 

We are looking forward to hosting Elder Christofferson of the quorum of the 12 apostles at a Pioneer Day fireside this Sunday at Weber State University. The upcoming July 24th Pioneer Day is quite a celebration in Utah, including another parade in which every missionary in the mission will march. Big rodeos, cultural celebrations and fireworks will also be a part of the upcoming festivities. We are learning what it's like to be in Utah again after so many years away. 

We experienced 3 days of intermittent torrential rainstorms which made me smile and pray for California to receive the same soon. We miss our dear friends and neighbors but think about you often. Attached are some of the Zone interview photos.
