August 2017 Arrivals

 Sis O’Bryant posted the following on her Mission blog when Bryant’s group arrived. So grateful for watchful and diligent Presidents who counsel and watch over our missionaries! 

-It's always a time of great anticipation waiting for our new missionaries to come through the door.  Sometimes they are late, but truly worth the wait:-)  To see the look of relief and joy on their faces when they see us standing with their red flags waving is a moment I will always cherish.  No matter how tired they are...and they ARE tired...they are just excited and ready to work.  We are truly blessed<3

-We definitely make our presence known.  Many on-lookers, and we love getting the Danes attention. 

Our later arrivals receive lunch from one of the Danish bakeries.  Always a "hit"! 

-I return home to make a "Traditional Christmas Dinner" to welcome them, while they all go to Copenhagen for office work and contacting in the big city. 

-They chose to play basketball rather than ping pong.  It is always great to see them interact together.  Just keep it friendly and non-competitive missionaries...

-The next morning, traditional breakfast burritos and some baked french toast.  

-I tell the new arrivals that today is like Christmas in Denmark.  There's so much anticiption.  It's so exciting to receive a trainer.  Trainers have a huge impact on our mission.  We speak of Charity continuously. 

-Training by our office senior missionaries, Elder and Sister Johnson. 

-Matching up with their trainers 

-Traditional Dominos pizza and fruit before traveling to their areas 

-Elder Jepsen 

-Elders Brown and Jepsen 

- Can you feel the excitement and expectation from the pictures?  Every six weeks, we are rejuvinated by these new missionaries.  Its a tender experience to work alongside these disciples.  They are a righteous army with saving power.   Denmark is blessed! 

- Such a gorgeous day in Denmark.  See you in two weeks missionaries!  Travel safely<3
