This is the generation of new missionaries, 21 February 2010, and their trainers. We received 2 Mexican sisters, 10 Mexican elders, and 1 Honduran elder in the morning. In the evening we received 5 gringos--well, five from America. One is Tongan-American and one is Samoan who doesn´t really speak English well. He has lived in Sacramento for 2 years. Before that, he was in the islands. So, he translates from Spanish to English to Samoan and back. What a fine missionary. If he can grasp the language, any of them, he will be among the very best. He is back row, left near the palm tree in between a little white Utahn and a big Mexican with his eyes closed.

Don't get out the calculator. That totals 18 new missionaries.
