We had a meeting that evening in "the Pavilion" with Elder and Sister Fenn, the Director and his wife at Mormon Handcart Historic Sites (MHHS). They're delightful! There are 98 missionaries serving here at this site of Martin's Cove. Another 44 serve at the Willies Sixth Crossing site. According to Elder Fenn, this is "the most celestial RV park in the world"! From the kindnesses and interactions we've had in our first hours here, we're getting our first glimpses of why this is so.
The Church owns 12,000 acres here, with another 85,000 leased from the BLM. This is also a working ranch with 1200 head of cattle. We began our first day with training and tours of Missionary Village facilities and what to expect in the coming days and weeks.
That evening we met with our District for dinner. They're a great group. From the left, Elder & Sister Smith, Elder & Sister Ohm (District Leaders), Elder & Sister Shepard, and us. Smiths and Ohms are here for their 2nd year.
It was a great first day here in the mission. We're excited for a full schedule of learning in the coming days and weeks!
