August 2017 Arrivals

It's always a time of great anticipation waiting for our new missionaries to come through the door.  Sometimes they are late, but truly worth the wait:-)  To see the look of relief and joy on their faces when they see us standing with their red flags waving is a moment I will always cherish.  No matter how tired they are...and they ARE tired...they are just excited and ready to work.  We are truly blessed<3

We definitely make our presence known.  Many on-lookers, and we love getting the Danes attention.

Our later arrivals receive lunch from one of the Danish bakeries.  Always a "hit"!

I return home to make a "Traditional Christmas Dinner" to welcome them, while they all go toCopenhagen for office work and contacting in the big city.

It was such a beautiful day and they found some "real treasures" in the backyard...;-O  

They chose to play basketball rather than ping pong.  It is always great to see them interact together.  Just keep it friendly and non-competitive missionaries...

Traditional breakfast burritos and some baked french toast.

I tell the new arrivals that today is like Christmas in Denmark.  There's so much anticiption.  It's so exciting to receive a trainer.  Trainers have a huge impact on our mission.  We speak of Charity continuously.

Training by our office senior missionaries, Elder and Sister Johnson.

Matching up with their trainers, but with one sister, it's pretty easy to see who the trainer will be...

Elder Throckmorton will be in a threesome.  These are two fine and gentle elders.  Let's have a group hug:)

Elders Preece and Maready

My finger was too quick before the hug, but I love the facial expressions.

Traditional Dominos pizza and fruit before traveling to their areas.
