Monthly Mission Breakfast

Missionaries in line for breakfast. Ann in lower right hand corner

This morning we held our second mission breakfast. Each month on the first Friday, the mission holds a breakfast for the whole mission and invites the full time employees of Facilities Management.

Everyone in the mission is assigned to one of the performing casts. During the late Fall and Winter there are two casts. Then during late Spring and Summer there are more missionaries so they divide up the missionaries into three casts. Each cast performs two nights of the "Rendezvous" show and one night of the ""Sunset by the Mississippi" show each week.

Anyway, the missionaries in each cast sigh up to bring items for their cast for the breakfast. So, there is one line of tables filled with breakfast items for each of the casts. The food items are to be there by 6:45 a.m. and the breakfast begins at 7:00 a.m. It is like a big ward dinner. The cultural hall is filled.

Besides being a social gathering, the purpose is to recognize the missionaries who will be going home that month. The missionaries who are leaving get together and come up with a skit. They have been quite cleaver and humorous.
