Transfers...June 25, 2012

This is a monumental transfer. It is the first transfer where there has not been a transfer van transporting missionaries from the north to the south or from the south to the north. All transferring took place within the north area and within the south area in preparation for the mission division.   There is work to be done in every area of the mission .

Once again...a marvelous work and a wonder has taken place with the transfer and transfer process!

Our Missionaries!

This group of missionaries going home is the group of missioinaries that we met at the MTC when we were were at the New Mission Presidents Seminar as our mission began.  This is the first group to be with us for their entire mission. They are 'our' missionaries!

 It is always bittersweet for us as we tell the missionaries good-bye at the airport. We are telling our family good-bye.  But we look forward to keeping in touch with them and hearing about  their new adventures!

Good Luck!  God Bless You!

Final farewell for those still waiting to board

Lots of New Faces!

This week we had 24 new missionaries to greet at the airport!

We are happy to welcome them to our mission family and are excited for the enthusiasm  

that they bring with them.  

The airport...Welcome to Vegas!

 Loading the trailer with all that will be needed for the next

18 months or 2 years x 24 missioinaries!

From the airport we went back to the missioin home for breakfast

and pictures. Pictures were taken of each missioinary to send
home to the parents.

The worth of a soul!!

Next stop was a local meetinghouse. Each was given a binder

with mission policies and papers to fill out.

Our biggest challenge on orientation day is trying to keep each

elder and sister awake. They had to be up and packed to

leave the MTC at 5:00 a.m. They are tired!
