Farewell and Welcome

May 22, 2012

We have really become attached to the sister missionaries.  We got to know them so well at the Temple Open House, we just loved them all.  We drove to Olathe to give Sister Hinckley her picture of all the sister missionaries at the temple and say good bye to her.  She is truly one who "has no guile"!

Sister Atkin, Sister Hinckley and Sister Jensen

We love it when we can go to the airport and pick up new missionaries.  They usually come in alone, for one reason or another, sometimes they are visa waiters.  We pick them up, take them on a mini church site tour, take them to the mission office for their mission picture, then deliver them to the mission home where President Keyes interviews them and then sends them to their new companion.

This Elder was born in Somoa, he came to America three years ago

 He is the only member of his immediate family and a great Rugby player.
