Sister Sandoval, from Duarte, CA (let) and Sister DeArton, from Idaho Falls, ID are the two new sisters fresh from the MTC. Sister Sandoval's parents joined the Church in Mexico because her mother visited the Church's Visitors' Center and a young sister missionary bore her testimony to her.
Sister Larsen (below) from Young Ward, UT is new to us because she has been in the field (they call it "Full Pros") for seven months - ever since we've been here. Elder Wooten and Elder Laufiso are the Zone Leaders.
Elder Wayne Nysetvold and Sister Ione Nysetvold are the new senior couple. This is their third mission, the last one was in the Nauvoo Temple Presidency, and before that, in SLC. Originally from Canada, they have also lived in Texas and more recently, Salt Lake City. Pictured are the Eubank's, instructing the Nysetvold's their first morning at the VC.
These pictures are the result of my first "official" act as VC photographer. I'm enjoying learning how to use my new Canon.
