Arrival of our New Missionaries and our Visa Waiters!!!!!!

Lunch at the YSA Center in Stockholm, before we go out and start contacting real people.







Wednesday, May 25, 2016, we met at the Täby Chapel for orientation, instruction, and for finding out who the trainers for these great missionaries will be, along with where they will be serving.  President Beckstrand provides some final comments before the excitement begins.



And, here are the trainers, all looking very Happy, with the exception of Elder Kendall, who always looks like this in pictures.
