Great to See You

Our missionaries clear customs at about 10:30 p.m., then it is out to the curb, onto the bus, and head for Daejeon. We arrive at the mission home about 1:30 a.m., but their spirits are high.

The next day includes a traditional Korean meal

Time in the office and ....find out who their new companion will be.

Ready to "Plant A Tree"

The transfer board lets our new missionaries see who will be their companion. Then.....they meet. The true meaning of life is to plant a tree Under whose shade you do not expect to sit. These incredible missionaries are prepared to give that type of service here in the Korea Daejeon Mission.

A Cloud in Our Heart

A farewell is necessary before you can meet again.

Meeting again, after a moment of lifetime is certain

for those who are friends

"Good-bye Captain"

To help them adjust to home....

Dinner with American cuisine only Each missionary receives a certificate with a star next to the towns theyhave served in and their companions throughout their mission.

Elder and Sister Pierce are the first missionaries to ever have a star by every city in the mission. They truly did serve missionaries in every city in the Daejeon Mission.

We will miss Sister Pierce's friendly "Hello" when calling the mission office, or Elder Pierce saying, "Yes, that "IS "refundable."

Fun Pictures

Welcome to Daejeon

Due to changes in airlines, our missionaries now arrive late at night. We greeted them about 10:30 pm, then boarded buses for the 3 hours drive to Daejeon. They were up the next morning at 6:00 am and looking great. Elder Ward, Elder Allred, Elder Williams, Elder Hardcastle Sister Bush, Sister Uyanga, Sister Min

Hello, My friend, Hello

Wonderful missionaries with Incredible Trainers

The moment that trainers are introduced to their new companion is very sweet. Both are excited to teach and learn. Both feel appreciation and love for the other.

Saying Goodbye

What you do for yourself leaves with you

But what you did for those in Korea remains forever in their hearts

THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE

Elder Curriden & Elder Choi

Sisters Conference

We had a wonderful day together at Sisters Conference. Our sisters can often go for months without seeing old companions and MTC friends.

Sister Pierce had an awesome picture collage for us to do.

She finished the morning with a workshop on

"laughter"

by sharing fun stories from our sisters.
