March 2016 Arrivals


This lucky group of new missionaries arrived just as Spring found its way to our mission and blessed us with blossoms galore!

Pictured here just coming out of the jetway at Reagan National Airport,
we paused to admire the blooming magnolia trees.
L-R:  Elder Monsen, Sister Rivas, me and my sweetie, Sister Hadley, Elders Davidson and Brown
 Adding Elder Omdahl to our group (second from the right), we bypassed taking the Metro this time and went outside instead to celebrate the long-awaited warm weather.


Dinner at the Mission Home

L-R:  Sister Training Leaders Washburn and Luna-Chico next to our two new Sisters Hadley and Rivas
President and Elder Blood (a new ASL Elder who came in a few days ago)
President and Sister Lorenzana (First Counselor in the Mission Presidency and right hand friends)
