One of our new assignments has become cooking for transfers at the Mission Home. It's a lot of work but so rewarding.Starts with buying all the groceries. Thankfully on the largest transfer ever, 14 missionaries coming in, we had help with the shopping.
Transfers involve dinner one night and early breakfast for the missionaries heading home. We get to listen to their testimonies and spend the evening with them and the mission president while they receive their final advice and share their spiritual experiences and testimony. It's a pretty awesome opportunity.
Then later that same day, new missionaries arrive after traveling around 12-14 hours from Salt Lake City to Zagreb. We feed them their first dinner in Croatia.
We love their excitement and enthusiasm and feel so privileged to be one of the first to greet them on their mission. We give them their evening dinner, breakfast and lunch the next day and then they are assigned their companions and off they go.
It's a crazy three days, two nights but feels so rewarding. We are becoming know as the mission cooks! These transfers happen every 9 weeks.
I have tasted your cooking so I know they are so fortunate to have you. You are an inspiration to those of us,living the easy gospel life in Utah.
