Often some missions receive missionaries whose visas do not arrive on time or because there are some challenges in their originally assigned mission. Consequently, we receive them in the California Riverside Mission while they wait.

Recently, we were blessed to receive four missionaries who had been assigned to Hong Kong. We were excited to see them at airport. Fortunately, we were able to share a delicious meal with them at the Mission Home that evening, and the next morning they received some training before they met their new trainers. They each were assigned fantastic trainers to help them have a great beginning to the mission.

One of our goals is to train these missionaries so well that their mission president in their mission where they are going will say, "Wow! These missionaries were trained so well we are going to have all of our missionaries "red shirt" in the California Riverside Mission before they come to our mission!"
We love having these missionaries serve with us! They are incredible young men and young women and fit nicely into our mission. In fact, we consider them a part of our mission, no matter how long they stay.
