It was another busy day at the office. For a few hours all of the couples were working in the office. Around 12:00 brother and sister Black who served here in 2008-2009. They trained Elder and Sister Collins and also served with Spencer Taylor who is now married to our granddaughter Taylor Taylor! They took all the couples out to lunch at a local Mexican restaurant. The Collins and Blacks had a great time talking about their time together in the mission and catching up with what has been going on in their lives since then.

Soon after we got back to the office Elder and Sister McCormick from Washington state arrived to start their 18 month mission. They got to meet most of the couples and then we checked them in at the La Quinta Inn that is right next door. Later they were able to have dinner with President and Sister Anderson. Tomorrow they will head off to Marathon Key where the President has asked them to serve. By the time they get to their apartment they will have driven just about as far from their home they can get and stay in the 48 states.

We now have 140 young missionaries and 7 couples serving in the Fort Lauderdale mission. The work continues to roll forward and will until the Lord says it is finished.
