Welcome, Welcome!

From the Airport to the Field!
Our new missionaries arrived with great energy and excitement to be here.  We are grateful to welcome these happy servants of the Lord.

Gathered in the Arrival Hall

How beautiful upon
the mountain are the feet…
and I had to take a picture
of these shoes so neatly
and carefully arranged :)

The first moments in
the Mission Home.
We all introduce ourselves,
then take a lot of pictures…
a group photo, individual with
President Rahlf and I, and a
solo one for the Transfer Board. 

After lunch we have brief
orientations at 7 different
stations.  And then, finally,
it's time to meet first companions.

 And here they are!
Happy faces all around--

"We will rejoice and be glad…"



"And it shall come to pass that power shall rest upon thee; thou shalt have great faith and I will be with thee and go before thy face.
Thou art called to labor in my vineyard, and to build up my church, and to bring forth Zion, that it may rejoice upon the hills and flourish."Doctrine and Covenants 39:12-13
