6-28-13 Mission Home Welcome

Pres. and Sis. Bishop picked us up from the Taiwan Taoyuan International airport late 
Friday evening, June 28.


When we arrived at the mission home, the welcoming took us by surprise!









We were greeted with the Taiwan Taichung Mission Song sung by a choir of angels, 
and a rose from each missionary!





Our illustrious Assistants:



What lucky brothers to be serving together in the same mission!


That afternoon, President Bishop handed off the phone and soon they were on their way home. The Bishops left us a worthy, obedient, and diligent mission. We will forever be grateful for all they have done to help us transition into this wonderful calling!
