Well, we are graduated from the Mission Training Center with our Office Training  group.  We fell in love with all our senior couple friends.  We were soon to depart to our missionary assignments in the Canary Islands which are just off  the African Coast, Democratic Republic of Congo, London  England, Samoa, Miramar (Burma), Vananutu (Pacific Islands), Fiji, Greece, Russia, Germany, Panama, Mexico,  and of course, South Africa.  A number of our senior friends also went to Louisiana, Texas, and Minnesota.  We had wonderful return missionaries that instructed us all through our missionary training.  We really appreciated them.  We met Ron and Mary Lynn Peterson at the MTC who were volunteer trainer for the senior missionaries.  I can still remember the MTC encouraging us to “Lengthen our shuffle” as senior missionary to accomplish the work.
