Missionary Fireside Questions From The Youth

Eagan Ward had Sister missionaries enter the Ward during the end of our school year. Before they showed up in the Ward there were several Elders. We started out with Sis.Fisihetau and Sis.Petersen. When Sis.Petersen got transferred, we got Sis.Hall. Today we found out that sadly, Sis.Hall is being transferred to Plymouth. So this post is for the Sisters in Eagan Ward.

Here are some of the questions asked. See if you can answer them. Post your answers if you know. I am not even sure of the answers but maybe they could have a refresher Fireside for those not in the know, like myself.
