Our MTC Branch
Our Anna!
As new missionaries arrive to the MTC and we receive information about who is coming to join our branch, we are always watching for Russian natives coming from our Novosibirsk Mission. A few weeks ago we were excited when we noticed among the names - Anna Smirnova from Moscow. We became acquainted with Anna on our first mission to Russia. She was among the Young Women that came to our apartment regularly. She is a sweet and delightful young lady. We knew that she and her family had moved from Novosibirsk to Moscow shortly after we completed our first mission. We were very hopeful that the Anna Smirnova coming to the MTC was the Anna we knew. We were thrilled when she arrived and it was our Anna! It has been great to get reacquainted with her and renew our friendship. She left early this morning for the Ukraine where she will serve her mission. She will be a wonderful missionary.
This week we will say goodbye to over half of our missionaries. During the next 2 weeks we will receive new missionaries and the cycle will begin again. We really do enjoy working with these wonderful young men and women. There truly is a special spirit at the MTC and we feel privileged to have this assignment.
She's adorable. What a great opportunity for her to come be "trained" in the US and to see you again.
ReplyDeleteHow neat that you got to see her again. I bet it was a very happy surprise for the both of you.
