Transfer Pictures…thanks to Sister Boice

Well you can take me out of the Fort Lauderdale Mission but you can not take the mission out of me. I know how much pictures means to families so i asked Sister Boice, another camera buff, to please take as many pictures of new companionships as she could at transfer meeting on Wednesday.

These are the great pictures she sent me. I think most of them are much better than the ones I took. I hope that you enjoy the pictures and I will try to put names to them sometime tomorrow.

Orullian Krafton Amiolemeh & HymasElder Orullian will be trained by elder Kafton down in Homestead zone. Sister Amiolemeh’s trainer is sister Hymas and they will serve at the opposite end of the mission up in Stuart zone.

Benitez Levy Brimley GrantElder Benitez seems to be happy to have elder Levy as his new companion and they will serve in Stuart zone. Two missionaries that we got to know well, elders Brimley and Grant, are now companions and will also be serving up in Stuart zone. BTW Elders Smoot, Rockwood and Pond – sorry no picture – are now serving as a threesome as zone leaders up there in Stuart.

Call Urnston Chiou EspinozaElders Call and Urmston will serve together in the Miami Beach zone. Sisters Chiou and Espinoza, who I believe came in just a few weeks apart, are now serving in the Fort Lauderdale zone.

Collins, Guiterriez Whitney Boice Fletcher HansenSenior missionaries elders Collins and Boice bookend elder Gutierriez and Whitney. Sister Fletcher, who served with us in FL ward, and sister Hansen who regularly read this blog after she got her call, are now companions. They will serve this transfer in Hialeah zone.

Garcia Meilling Gust PlowmanSisters Garcia and Meiling are new companions in Hialeah zone. Elder Gust and elder Plowman said goodbye to elders Shipley and Stewart and now are the APs with elder Torres…sorry no picture of the new companionship yet.

Guterriez  Whitney Harris, Van WaggenenHere are elders Gutierrez and Whitney with out the senior elders – they will serve together in Hialeah zone. Elder Harris is now companion with elder Van Wagenen. Elder Van Wagenen is the missionary elder Smoot tried to eat at our last Last Supper back in April. They will serve in Fort Lauderdale zone with elder Harris being the district leader,

Jackson Ware Marcusen Brockbank

Sisters Jackson and Ware are serving in the Miami Beach zone. Elders Marcussen and Brockbank are in Fort Lauderdale zone.

McKay Holyan McMullin Winslow

Sisters Holyan and McKay will serve together in the Hialeah zone. Elders McMullin and Winslow are now serving in the Coral Springs zone.

Parking Lot ... Parking Lot 2

 

I was happy to see a couple of shots of the parking lot ballet…missionaries moving their luggage and bikes from one car to another as they say goodbye to one group of friends and get acquainted with another group. I really wonder who is under that Mexican sombrero. Elder Richardson is behind elder Rivera. He is going to serve down in Homestead with elder Mackley. In the second picture sister Holyan is just coming up to elder Plowman and sister Espinoza is moving some of her  luggage – where are the elders who should be helping her? I think that is elder Bay I see – he is going to serve with elder Allen down in Homestead zone.

Pattberg Page Rogers Bean

Elders Pattberg and Page will serve up in Stuart zone. Sister Rogers is going to be trained in Fort Lauderdale zone by sister Bean. If she has a birthday while serving with sister Bean she will get a great birthday cake and maybe a mustache straw.

Sneider Biggs Stegelmeier Dougal

Sister Schneider will be training sister Biggs while they serve in the Palm Beach zone. It was great to see that sister Stegelmeier and sister Dougal – two of the new Sister Training Leaders – are serving together while staying in the Fort Lauderdale zone. I am hoping that I get a picture of sister Merrill with her new missionary sister Karl soon so I can post it. They are also serving in the Fort Lauderdale zone.

Stegelmeier Espinoza, Choi Taylor Loucks

I have no idea how sister Stegelmeier managed to get into a picture with sisters Espinoza and Chiou but she must have gotten down on her knees to be that close to their size. Elder Taylor is now serving with elder Loucks in the Coral Springs zone where elder Loucks is a DL.  Williamson, Webb Woodard, Thorne

It is good to see elders Webb and Williamson will serve together in the Miami Beach zone where elder Webb serves as a DL. The Lord finally moved elder Thorne out of the Fort Lauderdale zone and he will now serve as DL up in Stuart zone with elder Woodard.

Skousen, Hall

Last but not least elders Skousen and ever smiling elder Hall will serve as zone leaders together down in Hialeah zone.

Darn but I miss being at transfer meeting and getting to see all the great missionaries we came to know and love. Hopefully we will be able to stay in touch with some of them through e-mail and FB.

If anyone has pictures of new companionships – or old ones for that matter – that they would like me to post here, please send them to me with any comments you would like to include.

    I enjoyed seeing the pictures. Elder Pearce wasn’t transferred but the sister missionaries you posted of Sister Hymas & Sister Amiolemeh, well Sister Amiolemeh is a friend of our family. My daughter went to school with her at BYU-Idaho. I didn’t even know she was called to serve there. It was nice seeing her. I forwarded the picture on to her family. =]

    Thanks for all you are doing still.

    It was so nice to meet you last week! Thank you for the messages you both shared and for your hospitality in opening your home. I echo the appreciation of your keeping up this blog! What a blessing it has been (and remains to be!) It was great to see a picture of Elder Thorne and his new companion.
