The Newest, the Brightest, and the Most Jet-Lagged

1792
On Wednesday April 6, 2011, we had the privilege of obtaining a new and diverse set of missionaries.  After much excitement, many trips to the airport, and a few gray hairs, we successfully retrieved all 21 of your dear little ones!  We have been so impressed by all of them and know that they will be a wonderful benefit to the people here and great instruments in the hands of the Lord.  But what am I saying?  You already know that! 
On to the pictures!

Before they can get their bearings, they see the beautiful Duomo, eat some delicious Italian food, and
tasty gelato!  And, they proselyte!

These magnificent missionaries
were not even fazed…
