Five new missionaries joined our team this week: Sister Largent from Oklahoma, Sister Bacani from the Philippines, Sister Muller from Germany, and Sisters Watanabe and Nishigaki from Japan. The two Japanese sisters were transferred here from Temple Square where they have served for three months. Japanese sisters originally called to serve here were sent to Temple Square a few months ago, leaving us dangerously under-staffed to handle the hundreds of Japanese tourists who visit our VC.
Four missionaries went home: Sisters Bailey to Utah and/or Texas; Sister Cutler to Boise, Idaho; Sister Ochiai to Okinawa and Sister Hu to Taiwan. Here's Sister Hu and Sister Ochiai after we sang "Aloha Oe" at their last Training Meeting.
