This never gets old...
The excitement and preparations in anticipation
of the arrival of new missionaries is like
Christmas morning...
every six weeks!
Another great group!
We still await Sorella Zhonga
who needs a clearing of visa issues but
she should arrive soon.
Gratefully, the others made it.
Late.
Because of the domino effect of a delayed plane in
Chicago the missionaries needed
to wait for many hours in SLC before leaving.
Consequently,
we were not able to schedule
the traditional metro-finding and pictures at Duomo.
They will have to visit another time.
We are just grateful they are here...
....and so are they.
Here is what I have for you...
