| The Passing of the Keys |
With the touch-down of the Andersen's plane on July1, the Presidency of the Spain Málaga Mission passed from President Deere to President Andersen, and a new chapter of the mission opened. The Andersens fit enough in the first few weeks to last months, as the pictures will show.
First up were 3 meetings of three zones each to let the missionaries meet and get to know their new Mission President couple.

ReplyDeleteAre all the missionaries in the Malaga picture? I can't find Elder Hansen. I know he's short, but not THAT short. ;)
ReplyDeleteI´m pretty sure all the missionaries made it to the meetings - he may have been at the Murcia meeting, or behind someone. Sorry! I promise he is still here in the mission field! ;)
DeleteAh-ha! There he is in the Murcia picture!! I clicked on it to make it larger, and there was my boy! Thanks for the reply! :)
