Specialized Training - Last Day

Specialized Training is so nice. The days are a little shorter than interviews. We love interviews too and look forward to starting them again in a couple of weeks. I missed one whole district's pictures last interviews and several of those missionaries were at specialized training today. Here they are with a few other missionaries who attended too.

Love these and all the missionaries!

You can just see how their love for the Savior and His Gospel radiates from their faces.

Aren't they gorgeous?!?! And handsome!

We are so blessed.

We finished up Specialized Training except for Jackson Zone. Heading toward home we stopped at this great place to eat that our first two assistants introduced to us. It was fun then and is fun now, filled with happy memories and great food. We had catfish, shrimp, Texas toast, rice, red beans, hushpuppies, baked potato, salad bar, and for dessert, blackberry cobbler. For anyone who has served in this mission, those will be familiar foods. Yum!
