No, I am not going to but you every day but today was historic. Today the MTC welcomed 900 new missionaries....the largest group ever to report on a Wednesday. After lunch we went out to watch their arrival. They came in groups of 100 every 15 minutes. It was orderly, few tears were shed, escort missionaries helped each one, one on one, with their luggage and finding their rooms. Yes, Todd, they still do dork dots. We didn't get them but the young missionaries did. We watched as Paige Oliver escorted another Sister to her room. We saw Rachel Clair at lunch. I have never been more proud of the youth.
One car had five boys in suits and a mother and father in Sunday dress. They were dropping off the oldest son for his mission and all of the rest of the family dressed up for the occasion. What good parents to honour this call like that. I think I shed more tears than the real families.
Boy is it good to be going out on the crest of this wave!!!
We gave our first discussion to "investigators" today and it was easy. I guess we really have been preparing for this all of our lives.
Unloaded 10 boxes when we got home. I dislike that part of our life right now. I'd love to pitch it all.
Love,
Sister Taggart
