Time just to be together

Cup Stackers

THE CUP STACKER WINNER
Sister O'Bryan These missionaries try to move the colored cup from the bottom to the top of the stack, then.... cup by cup try to get it to the bottom again.
It takes alot of air to accomplish the next challenge.
Blow up the balloon,
then using the air inside the balloon
push a stack of cups down and off the table.

MINUTE TO WIN IT

Our missionaries took on challenges with a minute or less to
accomplish each task.
Here our Elders are trying to put as many noodles as possible in
a cup in just one minute.

Keep 'Um Up

Elder Fertig shows how to accomplish this challenge.
Keep three balloons in the air at the same time.
If one touches the floor.....
you will not be in the winner circle.
Sister Lee and Sister Sherwood ready for the signal to start.

Chop Sticks Anyone?

We have all grown accustomed to and accomplished at eating with chopsticks
but
can you stack lip balm containers with them.
You have
A MINTUE TO WIN IT

SHAKE IT

Elder Nye shows the winning strategy for getting 8 ping pong balls
out of a tissue box,
that is strapped to his back.

Great to See You

Elder Duncan, Elder Young, Elder Draper, Elder Meigs, Elder Jolley,
Elder Carter, Elder Lund, Elder Wixom
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"

Final Evening Together

(I promised Elder Alberro not to use this picture, but sorry the other was awful)
Front Elder & Sister Pierce, Sister Erdenezaya, Pres. & Sister Furniss, Elder Pearson
Back row: Elder Alberro, Elder Brassfield, Elder Crosland, Elder Nordfelt, Elder Christiansen, Elder Stimpson, Elder Barzee, Elder Conley, Elder Casey, Elder Choi
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."
