June 27th Arriving Sisters: Sister Brooklyn Cox, Sister Maya Diede, Sister Abigail Despain, Sister Leyla Howlett, Sister Hengxin Merrick, Sister Brielle Rowley, and Sister Kathya Talamantes
Seven new Sisters has been the largest group we have had so far. It took a little orchestration to make sure we had enough space for luggage and people in the cars we took to the airport. Once we are done at the airport we go to the Mormon Battalion Historic Site and begin introducing the sisters to everyone. They also pick out three time period outfits and are fitted for adjustments and have an interview with President. where he is making final decisions on who will be their companion. A meal is provided for everyone and the new companionships are announced. We end the evening by the STL's (Sister Training Leaders) giving a tour to the new sisters, their companions and whoever else who can fit into the rooms.
June 27th & 28th Departing Sisters: Sister Bae, Sister Christensen, Sister Lucy Garcia, Sister Layla Nance, and Sister Lizzie (Elizabeth) Petersen
It's tradition that we take the departing Sisters to the temple before they leave for their proselyting missions. Because the San Diego Temple is closed for renovation we take the Sisters to the Newport Beach Temple. As many of our senior couples who can join us come as well. (Elder and Sister Jones, Elder and Sister Nielson, and Elder and Sister Ottley as well as ourselves.)
