We get to the airport, put up our sign, and wait for the airplane….
We see the first missionary come out of the door and watch him stand aside to let the sisters pass
We see their excitement as they see us and come down the ramp
They are so exited to finally be here in Trujillo, the land of their mission call
They usually go to the end of the ramp, but this time they all stopped and shook hands with
President Marler and the Assistants
Sister Marler just kept taking pictures
We love these bright, smiling faces, we love you, we have been praying for you,
and we are so glad that you are finally here!
From left to right, Elder Zavalet & Elder Antuña, Elder Huatuco, Elder Johnson, Elder Fankhauswer, Sister Bravo, Sister Sosa, Sister Shreve, and Sister Taylor, and the Marler's |
The bus ride was fairly uneventful, we show them the ruins of Chan Chan and then...
We saw the Temple…everyone was so excited
So we stopped and took a little picture |
Then arrived at the mission home for a welcome, training and lunch.
Sister Shreve, Sister Taylor and Sister Sosa enjoying the training
