17 August 2012 Brand Ceremony

The Elder's chose a brand, and the men worked very hard to make these brands for us.  Each of the new Missionaries received a brand.  Then they burned their brand onto the AOA brand board. 
We had fun after the branding was over.  Thanks to all those man that worked on the project.
They are very nice.
