Elder DeGraw arrives safely in Bucharest, Romania

We received this note from the Mission Office in Romania

********************************

"Dear Brother and Sister DeGraw,

President H and I were thrilled to meet Elder DeGraw as he arrived in the Bucuresti airport with his MTC group.  He seemed very happy to finally be in the mission field after his weeks in the MTC.  He was surprisingly awake after his long flights...

(They spent the first night in the MIssion Home)

The next day, we went in the pouring rain to Cismigiu Park where, in 1990, Elder Russel M. Nelson dedicated the land of Romania for teaching the gospel.  We took refuge in a little gazebo, where we sang hymns and snapped a picture of the group.  I'm attaching the picture for you to see.

Then, all the incoming missionaries came to lunch at the mission home, after which they worked hard to stay awake through our orientation meeting and then met their first companions.  ElderDeGraw is now with his initial companion, Elder R, in Bucharest, the capital city."
