On Saturday we had a training meeting for the trainers of our new missionaries. Lucky new missionaries!
Our AP’s and the new trainers. Sister Smith and Sister Gates & Elder Kemp and Elder Potter.
I am having some computer problems. I will post the pictures that i could get to upload and try again later to add a few more. I also struggle with the placement of pictures sometimes as you will see…I have 3 years to improve!
Fresh from the MTC. Elder Messer, Elder Hadley and Sister Lowater. Welcome to Norway!
Sister Steffensen is a Norwegian on her way to Temple Square when her visa arrives. This is when she got her missionary tag on Tuesday afternoon after we picked her up at the airport. We had to make one for her because she was assigned to serve with us only a few weeks ago.
These two are both from Castle Rock Colorado and the same stake. In their youth they were brothers on a pioneer treck. This is for their moms 🙂
Dinner…
Elder Messer….
Elder Hadley….
Sister Steffensen…
Sister Lowater..
These two will be companions. Sister Gates served in Sister Steffensen’s home ward so they knew each other 😉
Sister Gates wanted a name tag that would match Sister Steffensen’s. So sweet….
Everyone arriving to pick up/exchange missionaries. We love this part of the day!
Sister Leland will be moving to Bergen after a Christmas concert that she and Sister Gates are performing in on Sunday. They will be a tri companionship. Monday Sister Boud arrives and Sister Leland moves on. Sometimes transfers are complicated!
Our small basement was full of luggage on Wednesday…some going and some coming!
On their way…
Off to the train station and on to Moss!
Off to Sarpsborg!
Backing up is hard to do!!!!!! I have to admit that our driveway is VERY difficult to back out of! I wish I could add 100 smiley faces!!!! And….Elder Steed in the background 🙂

My daughter Emily Etchells will join you on March 1st. She will be the 3rd missionary from Castle Rock! How exciting. Thanks for these pictures. It really helps ease my anxiety sending off my first born. You will love her!
