"After leaving a great group of Missionaries at the departure gates of the airport, we swung around the corner and picked up our next incoming group. There were 21 all total - 4 Sisters and 17 Elders. They were excited to finally be in the mission field and to arrive in Phoenix on a 110 degree day. Thank goodness for air conditioning. At the Mission Office, they completed some preliminary paperwork, had a snack and were introduced to the office service missionaries. Then they were given a glimpse of the Phoenix Temple and then to the Mission Home for lunch, writing a letter home and a much appreciated nap. After the nap, there were training videos for bike and car safety. Then the traditional spaghetti dinner and more training. Early to bed to be able to rise Wednesday morning and get to the work of being a missionary."
