May Arrivals and Departures

Sister Stinson arrives from New Zealand..gentleman Elder Junk helps with luggage.

 Sister Henderson a very gifted singer
 Sisters and Elders getting their luggage
 Loading our trailer with tons of luggage
 Our trailer and truck.
 All of our new missionaries. These are our very last ones. President Cusick will be grateful to have them and they are very blessed to have him.
 Training the trainers..notice they avoided the front row. When we were training the trainees they sat on the front rows. Kind of interesting


Elder Langi trying to explain his attire.. It seems he had a very long car ride...
 This is a Haitian family who live in Tampa and we don't have Haitian missionaries serving here. When Elder Hogge and Elder Elliott came up to pick up Elder Paupulaire we thought it would be great for them to visit this family. I was grateful to be able to go with them as they taught these beautiful Sisters.  These missionaries are amazing and the Spirit was so strong. We have the very best Creole speaking missionaries in the whole world...all 8 of them.
Elder Oliver's last night in the mission. Elder Durrant had a hard time letting him go. These two have served as Zone Leaders together for a long time. You can see by the light in their faces that they have served very faithfully.
 Below: Elder Oliver and Elder Shields saying goodbye.

 Elder Vasher's missionary shoe. I can promise you that he worked that hard for his entire mission.
 Our Departing group. Well done dear Elders and Sisters. We will love you forever
Two sisters going home for ankle and knee repair..we are hoping they will return before we leave. If not they will return soon after. They have served valiantly in spite of much pain.
