Pictures

Elder Deppe, from Germany. Craig describes him as "the funniest German I've ever met".
Elder Steinvourte, from Holland. Craig says that his English is "perfect". He is classics major in Europe, just like Craig so they "get along great". Craig says that the two of them "love to make fun of modern Greek" and they help each other out understanding the modern grammar as opposed to ancient grammar.
Elder Almundsun, from Norway. They decided to see how they would look with a "mega-part".
"Elder Steinvourte being himself"

No explanation required!!
Elder Heller, he is from Germany. Craig said that they were practicing to be ushers for the devotional that evening.
Elder Long, Craig says he has lived all over the world. His parents are Italian. Craig says he is the prankster of the group. He likes to put the alarm clock in the ceiling set for 2:00 am, "the Brits didn't appreciate that".
Elder Ence, Craig describes him as "one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He left the MTC already for Lithuania.
Elder Forbes from Norway. He and Craig have become great friends.

Elder Burgon and Elder Mansfield from England. Craig says they are "absolutely hilarious".

Elder Mansfield with his "game face".

Craig's companion Elder MePhee from Texas.

Elder Mansfield
Elder Heller, he is from Germany. Craig says that they have become pretty good friends.
Elder Carlberg from Sweden, Craig says he is a Swedish equivalent of a Navy Seal graduate.
Elder Mansfield being himself.
Elder Steinvourte, Elder Schmaal, and Craig. Craig writes that Elder Schmaal is absolutely hilarious, he doesn't speak much English but he still tries to talk 400 miles an hour.


We received a letter yesterday from Craig and he sent all of the pictures that he had taken of the other missionaries in the group going to Greece. It is great to see how much fun they have despite the hard work and long days they put in at the MTC. An instant reminder that they are still 19 year old young men after all.

Jodi,
It isn't much of a surprise to see who the clown is in the group. He seems to be the common denominator. (^.^) It warms my heart to see such joy, fun and fellowship in doing God's work. We should all learn from them.
Love you--

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. (If he will be possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll I thankful, bye friend).

Oi, I found its blog for google is well interesting I liked this post. It would like to speak on the CresceNet. The CresceNet is a dialed supplier of InterNet that remunerates its users for the hardwired time. Accurately this that you read, is paying you to connect. The paid supplier 20 cents for the moment of connection dialed with local linking for more than 2100 cities of Brazil. The CresceNet has a connection accelerator, that leaves its faster connection up to 10 times. Who uses broad band can also profit, is enough to register in cadastre itself in the CresceNet and when it will be to sleep to connect for dialed, it is possible to pay the ADSL alone with the money of the dialed one. In the schedules of only minute the expense with telephone is minimum and the remuneration of the generous CresceNet. If you I to want to linkar Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in its blog I would be been thankful, until more and success.
