Yesterday we welcomed twelve new missionaries to the OEM!
Sometimes when these new missionaries first enter the airport terminal they come with a little fear and trepidation, not so this time!
They walked into the terminal like Helaman's 2000 Stripling Warriors! 







They are waiting for their luggage. I wait to the side with all of their carry-on bags. 






 Sister Herbst and Sister Brown spotted me taking pictures. Check out those gorgeous smiles!






Almost ready to go!










 And...we are off!!!






Oh, wait, we should get our carry-on luggage from Sister Russell (as she snaps more pictures).






 Now, we are headed out to the van which has a trailer attached to it for the luggage.














It's a beautiful day in Eugene, Oregon, temperature about 75 degrees.
