The Hague and the Rotterdam Zones were eager and ready for a great day of instruction and learning!
Wow! When we walked into the room I was overwhelmed with a feeling of love and gratitude for each missionary!
Celebrating birthdays is something we all look forward to. We have a fun tradition in our mission! We make a big deal when a missionary has a birthday. Missionaries have one minute to bombard the birthday recipient with sincere compliments and qualities they admire in the missionary.
This is the results.....look at those wonderful smiles!
We learn all kinds of wonderful things about our missionaries!
Once every missionary has been spotlighted and given a gift out of the birthday basket, we asked Elder Waldie to lead us in our enthusiastic Dutch birthday song! He puts his whole heart and soul into it!
President Brubaker taught the importance of bringing families into the church. Everyone has aunts, cousins, grandmas, grandpas, mom, dads, uncles....they are a gold mine of referrals just waiting to be taught about the Gospel. 
We hope to be the mission that looks for families to teach!
Elder Favero and Elder Osmond sang beautifully to set the tone for the afternoon.
President Brubaker asked everyone to hold on.......changes are in the air!
He introduced the brand new "hot off the press"
In-Field Training for New Missionaries.
Even though this new program is for new missionaries and their trainers,
every missionary will take an extra hour of companionship study each day
for the next 12 weeks to learn right along with the new missionaries!
This means a change to the daily schedule! We have the best missionaries! They accepted the change with enthusiasm and a positive attitude.
They could readily see the inspiration of these changes.
We are one big happy family!
