ARRIVING MISSIONARIES Feb 2013

 PLEASE CLICK ON THIS LINE FOR ALL PHOTOS OF THIS EVENT!

OUR MISSION FAMILY IS GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS...or at least by Jensens, Bolingers and Weeks.  (We have duplicates of all these names in our mission now)

We met this amazing group on Tuesday after we dropped off our departing missionaries.  They came excited and ready to learn and work.

 It was so fun to see all of them coming down the escalators!

 We also made quite a line-up outside as we waited for the transfer van and several of our office couples to help drive them back to the Mission Office.


We took them to the Mission Office to meet all our office couples and get paperwork done, and then drove them to the site for the AZ Phoenix Temple under construction.  All of these missionaries will be here for the completion of this temple!!

 Sisters L to R: Sisters Dayton, Mejia, Jensen, Neary, Flint, Turner, Jenson,  Elders L to R:  Parry, Munoz, Homer, Burgoyne, Gapinski, Forson, Longhurst, Nielsen, Wrigley, Elliott, Watchman, J. Miller, Empey, Ja.Weeks, Nelson, Handy,  T. Bolinger, Linkogle and Smith.

Back at the Mission Home we had them pose with the Mission Flag which is getting very full of signatures!

 After a brief orientation by the Assistants, we had lunch and then NAPTIME!  We had missionaries all over the floors and even outside on the lawn!

Back in the swing of things, we had stations to get safety certified, to write home and sign the flag and quilt and to cook with Sister Taylor in the kitchen.  We made our breakfast casseroles for the following morning and all hands were busy!

 After a wonderful FHE on Tuesday night and hopefully some good sleep, we were all up on mission time at 6:30 AM to go out and exercise.  We all walk or run for our morning exercise 6 days a week!

We had breakfast and loaded up to go to transfers...but not before President had elders out picking grapefruit to share with the mission.  Pretty fun for Elders Watchman and Wrigley!


WELCOME TO THE #1 MISSION IN THE WORLD...FOR THEM!!!

We love your sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, friends...thank you for preparing them and letting the Lord borrow them this special time!
