Our second week in Provo consists of specific Humanitarian training. There are just 3 couples from last week's group who are serving humanitarian missions. This training has been great and we've learned so much about what humanitarian missionaries are trying to accomplish. Even though humanitarian missionaries fall under the Welfare Services department of the Church, there is a distinct separation. Welfare services are primarily for "members" of the Church, and humanitarian services are for the world at large without regard to religious affiliation.

Lunch at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building on Monday
To the left are Elder Donald and Sister Leslie Peterson. They are going to Beijing, China, and have served 2 previous missions including one to South Africa. They moved out of our Sandy Ward (Ida Lane) in 1988, just one year before our family moved in. Next to them are the Sellers from Layton, Utah. They are going to the Dominican Republic, and have also served one other mission to Mexico City.
