Transfers

It has been a big week in the Texas Houston Mission with meetings, firesides, meals and trips to the airport.  On Monday, Elders Anderson, Baker and Sister Vance left to Brazil as their visas finally arrived (first picture). We thank them for their faithful service here in Houston.  On Tuesday and Wednesday, we said farewell to six of our own - Elders Fisher, Hicks, Yu and Taylor, along with Sisters Latu and Crandall.  Each have served faithfully and will be missed. We wish them the very best as they move forward with their lives.  Later on Wednesday, nineteen new missionaries arrived - Elders Field, Contrys, Harms, Hillebrant, Larsen, McKell and Mortimer and Sisters Allred, Barker, Daniel, Gregson, Lockhart, McCleary, Ogden, Parry, Phillips, Priddis, Wahlen and Wessendorf.  An additional missionary, Sister Pedersen, arrived on Friday evening (see picture below).  We are thrilled to welcome this new group and hope they each find great joy and satisfaction in their missionary service.  A big thanks to all who helped with transfers this month!
