The annual trip to watch the Washington Nationals play took place this past Wednesday. The weather was beautiful with perfect temperatures and slightly overcast skies. However, based on the number of sunburned faces and arms I have seen since then, perhaps it wasn't overcast quite enough.
Because I am short of time and because I know many of you check this page on Sunday, I will put up the photos now with intents on coming back to finish the captions later - probably next week after transfers. I take solace in knowing you are making up your own captions that are funnier than anything I could come up with. Enjoy.

| What the stadium occupancy used to look like a few years ago before the Nats started to win. |
 |
| What the stadium looked like today - and the reason why the missionary seats were not all in one section but spread across four. |
Some of the missionaries came early hoping to see Bryce Harper come out of the dug out. Unfortunately, security moved them up to our nose bleed seats before Brother Harper came out. Notice there are no sisters among the group.
The senior missionaries ended up in a far off section.

| The Matsumoris. |
So here are lots of photos of missionaries. Looking at the number of pictures and missionaries in each frame, I may forgo any attempt to name them unless there are just a few in a photo. Have fun playing "Where's Waldo" and locating your favorite missionary.

| Missionaries remember their purpose all of the time. You'll notice Sister Schoemaker talking to the men in front of her. They gave her a referral and missionaries are going out to visit him. |
 |
| You can see the missionaries to the right are being shown on the jumbo tron. |
 |
| Even with all of the people in the stadium, the missionaries were shown on the jumbo tron at least 4 times. One of the times they zoomed in and then pulled back to show exactly how many there were over the four sections. |
