New Senior Missionaries Arrive!!!

 Just a few hours after we dropped off our daughter and son-in-law at the airport, I was back at the airport to pickup a senior missionary couple from Las Vegas and some good friends of ours....The Harbers!!! We are all from the Palmyra Ward. Here is Sister Harber coming into the Passenger Pickup waiting area.

Some pictures are truly "worth a thousand words". Now here is a 'confident looking, well-rested and knows-where-he-is-going' Elder Harber. We're going to call it 'jet-lag'! We love you Paul! I love his expression!!!
A big WELCOME to our friends, Elder and Sister Harber. Thanks for coming to one great country. Now....where is President Nielson, you might ask? Again....life is busy here and we had to split up. While I was greeting the Harbers at the airport......

 ...President Nielson was holding Zone Council Meeting. Here he is with our 3 new Zone Leaders, Elders Leimer, Eastman, and Garrett....and our Assistants, Elders Stohel and Tribe. Great things were happening at this meeting. New goals, standards and plans are being established by our leaders. Our first meeting in the New Mission Office- even if there are boxes all over in the other rooms.
So much was being accomplished that even lunch was spent around the conference table while the training continued.
The next morning, the Harbers were given a phone, a car (with a GPS), and an assignment.....They will be the YSA Adult Representatives for Lodz. Its great to have wonderful Senior Couples in the mission field. They bring so much and make a tremendous difference.

  1. President & Sister Nielson! Everything about this post (and this blog in general) makes me smile ;)

    Anyway, I found out about this blog in a VERY random/ it's-a-small-world-after-all way ;) The second counselor in our Stake Presidency has a son serving in your mission- Elder Kennedy from Pennsylvania (where we are living while Chris is in law school). Funny-huh?

    Just thought I'd drop in & say hello!
    Love you!
