It is Friday

I have heard that advertising is everything. In regards to Activity Days I have to say that is true. I'm sitting at the church catching up on my emails, facebook, blog and lesson ideas because no one turned up. No previous notice on facebook, no people. I can't say am not a little glad to unwind and relax after Intake today.
A whole nice new batch of missionaries, some nervous, some zealous, some exited and most of them are tired. We had a few who are still in route and will arrive "soon".
Typical Intake day -

Sister Whitehead (Maryanne) waits to assist missionaries to find their way to the Clinic and to the next building

Sister Van W__ working as a radiologist taking x rays

Sister Tucker inputs the computer data then waits while the panoramic picture is taken

We are very lucky to get translation and assistance from one of the teachers at the MTC

I cannot resist taking a photo when a missionary doesn't quite hit 5 foot next to Sister Stewart who is almost 6 foot

Missionaries lined up waiting to have a panoramic shot of their teeth

After the missionaries are screened they are given an x ray for a more in-depth screening. Many who look good have problems below what can be seen on the surface.

Sister Hoem's last intake and last lunch. This lunch always has an apple, a packaged drink, crackers, and a type of roll that has ham and cheese in the middle. A interesting skinny quarter slice of ham with a cube of cheese usually not melted.

Elder Stinchfield invents a way to see behind him. OK not so funny now, you had to be there - after a long day.
