2.26.24 Missionary Monday

Aliza's mission has updates posted on Facebook fairly often. I love catching peeks of what she is up to. 

Last week they had a trainer seminar where the trainers and trainee's were checked up on. Aliza is doing just fine. She's been away from home for quite a while. This is just a different location with different well understood expectations. 

They have nice lunches. I love her companion's smiles. She is so loving and kind. 

This guy started his application process last week. We tried to get a picture to send with his application. He obviously cares a bunch about this. I'm pretty sure he got a better one with Addie. This is a straightforward process and besides the delays and frustrations with uploading documents he is well on his way. 

I was delighted to receive this picture from people who hosted Aliza and her companion, for dinner one evening. We so appreciate those kind persons who have them in their homes. These quick pick-me-ups break up days and help sustain the missionary effort. 

She's two months done this week. It is going fast I love talking to her each Monday by Friday and Saturday I miss her a bunch and know that it's getting super close to visiting again. She is doing well. Alia continues to ask when Aliza is coming home? She misses her but is doing ok. Usually, a younger kid or two is awake when Aliza calls. She calls early in the morning as she has a lot going on even on P-day. 
We love our missionary and are so thankful for her kind happy companion.
