Great to have you here!

Now that we have been here for a little while you would think that we would have things down to a science. I think we would if all the MTC`s would just do the same thing every time but we have nothing that is the same.  This group comes to us from 3 different MTC`s and some had been flying for 24 hours before we saw them.  The whole group had not had much sleep but I don´t think that we have ever had a group that has been so tired!  We feel so bad for them when we tell them okay we are going to have you sit and listen to some training, go some places, meet your companion and get your area and then several of you will sit on the bus for several hours to get to your new area.  And remember everything because you are about to hit a new world.  Bienvenido!  

Left to right after us.  Elder Paniagua our visa waiter going to Brazil, Hermana Crapo from Idaho, Hermana Gaona from Paraguay, Hermana Gutierrez from Bolivia, Hermana Almost the whole group in front of our temple which is now closed.  Let`s hope that they can see this temple open before they leave!  Maybe they will be able to take a family, or individual  there  as one of the last things that they do.  Wouldn´t that be great?! 

A little later than the rest of the group Elder Bodily.  Maybe lucky for him that he didn´t have to sit through the training :)
