Early the next morning we are off to the airport again to pick up new missionaries! 

We wait anxiously and watch for the missionary tags of those getting off the plane.

They are always the last ones to come through but always worth the wait!!!

Missionaries to arrive!

 

Jacquelyn is so excited to meet the new missionaries!

 

Introducing Sister Messias Da Silva  from Brazil. Welcome Sister to the Australia

Adelaide Mission!  Sister Messias Da Silva came with the Light of Christ in her

Countenance.  A great gift for a missionary.

 

This is Elder Mattie from Canada!  There are miracles ahead for you Elder. So 

Thankful you are here and ready to serve.

 

Another great missionary from Canada-meet Elder Barfuss. A steadfast missionary

Prepared and ready to invite others to come unto Christ.  Welcome Elder!

 

Welcome Elder Peihopa from New Zealand!  We are thrilled this great missionary is

Might, mind and strength.  

 

And this is Elder Choemsaen from Thailand!  Welcome Elder to the best mission ever!

Thank you for answering the call to serve and preparing yourself for this great

Adventure.  

 

 

We are so very blessed!  Once again the Lord has sent us wonderful, prepared missionaries

To hasten the work in this part of His vineyard.  We love you all!

 

What a great day!!  Not only did we pick up new missionaries, but we have our

Son and his family here from the USA and Elder and Sister Farrer are just arriving

From Darwin with some members of their branch to begin a Temple trip. Doesn't

Get any better than this!  

 

After taking that group of missionaries back to the mission office for orientation, we

Drove back to the airport to pick up this great missionary-Sister Buyanbadrakh from

Mongolia! We are so happy you are here Sister, especially since you flew by yourself

from Provo, Utah!

together.  We love you forever and ever.

 

Then we were off to the airport and were in time to see this great sight!  Our son

Brandon, his wife Alex and our new granddaughter who we have never met  arriving

from Boston! So thankful to have them here!!

 

And introducing Jacquelyn.  She is quite the little traveler.  Still smiling after that

very long flight.  We are blessed beyond measure to welcome this precious

angel into our family. Her first smile at Grandpa Jeff.
