Transfer week - arrivals: October 8, 2012

We love meeting the new missionaries.  They always come off of the plane excited and happy - even though they've traveled through the night with little to no sleep.
Left to right:  Sister Bullock, Elder Squires, Sister Nakatsuka, Elder Hart and Elder Loveless.

The missionaries head to the cars.


The van is a great luggage carrier.

Even though the day was a little hazy, the temple was still beautiful.

IHOP is the missionaries' favorite destination.  Look at their plates and you can tell why.

Note to former missionaries viewing this blog - notice the new syrup containers in front of the sisters.

And of course we eat again at the mission home later in the evening.

And the evening is not complete without a few games of ping pong.
Those still competing are standing around the table. The rest of us are watching.
