Awesome New Missionaries!


Left to Right: Elders Treuhaft, Chamberlain, Bullen, Dickson, Boothe, Gardner. Sisters Bourgeous, Chartier, Alder



Ready to head out to their first areas with their trainers:
Top row L to R: Elders Bullen, Taylor, Boothe, Saunders, Chamberlain, Ence
Row 2: Elders Gardner, Skabelund, Hansen, Dickson, Treuhaft, Robinson
Row 1: Sisters Bourgeous, Henrie, Blazzard, Chartier, Alder, Moffat



We fit 28 pieces of luggage into the mission van when we picked the new missionaries up from the airport! They rode back to Daejeon by bus with the AP's.

Everyone enjoyed the yummy traditional meal at our favorite neighborhood restaurant. Elder Dickson loved it so much he was reluctant to leave!

Nine wonderful new Elders and Sister arrived this week, so full of excitement and wonder. It's the rainy season and on their first full day here they go out to proselyte for a few hours and have already experienced getting soaked by warm rain! Umbrellas don't help much when the wind is strong! They are so happy to be here, they think everything is great!

Thank you for having this blog for the families back home. Elder Gardner looks excited and pumped (no surpise!). Keep an eye on him for us!

If you see him, tell him Joel and Heather say, "Work hard - that's what we pray for around these parts!"
