The Welcome Sign

Here is the lineup of our January 2014 batch of new missionaries.

Every transfer I think it is not possible to love any more missionaries, and then another amazing group of elders and sisters arrive and my heart grows a little larger.

Elder Hansen 

Sister Teoti

 Elder Gonzaga

 Elder Martinez

 Elder Lim

 Elder Corpuz

 Sister Hale

Sister Griffiths

 Sister Hingano

Sister Nkwocha 

Sister Sefeti

 Sister Carter

 Sister Delos Santos

Sister Patolo

 Elder Talingdan

 Elder Parcon

Elder Apuhin

 Elder Paloma

 Elder Sessions

Elder Santillan

 Elder Salimbot

Jumping as a group did not go well this time although I did get a few super jumpers that I wanted to give a special 'shout out' to . . .

 Sister Hingano obviously knows what she is doing. Look how high she is! And how kind it is of Elder Talingdan to lend his shoulders to help Elder Corpuz get off the ground. I see some great missionary traits here like determination, service, trust, excitement, joy, faith, brotherly kindness, and being lifted to greater heights by the Spirit. 

Not sure how Elder Lim's pose relates to missionary work, (pink tie), but it reminds me of the cartoon character The Roadrunner - how he jumps up and takes off with a flash. I think it means Elder Lim is up and ready to go to work, leaving only a trail of dust in his tracks.
