This is the end of our small groups coming in from the MTC in Provo. So we were especially excited to get Elder Alston and Elder Rowley. On Tuesday, March 19, 2013, we welcomed our newest missionaries.
President Robinson, Sister Robinson, Elder Alston, Elder Rowley
Off to the Mission Office in Leiden to get the paper work done, the legality finished, and the financial issues taken care of before we take them to an early lunch for Pannekoeken.
Elder Alston, Elder Li, Elder Andrews, the financial Office Elder; Elder and Sister De Leeuw, our interim Office Couple
Pankratz in the back, Elder Moscon, the legality Office Elder, Elder Van Rij, Elder Rowley (our only Elder in the mission from England)
Sister and Elder Pankratz--last lunch with them
at Oude Leiden for Pannekoeken
Elder and Sister De Leeuw, our interium Office Couple until our
newly called Office Couple arrive in May
President Robinson and Elder Alston
After lunch and legality, off to the Mission Home for a nice nap after almost 22 hours of little to no sleep. After a nap and a dinner at the Mission Home, we held our Welcome and testimony meeting. Afterward they both opened their call to their new area and who their trainer would be for their first transfer.
Elder Rowley will be serving in Den Haag with Elder Stanley as his trainer.
Elder Stanley is currently serving as District Leader in Den Haag District.

President told Elder Alston he would now have to learn another language--
Flemish!
Next morning before we head back to the office to meet their new companions, we stop for a picture to document that they are truly in the Netherlands.
