Leavers


A new group of wonderful missionaries have completed their fulltime service
to the Lord and will be returning home. Our farewell dinner was filled with
good food, testimonies, some laughs and many tears. Sister Condie, Sister Tuu'u,
Sister Soh, elder Acker, Elder Keller, Elder Maughn and Elder Jacobson. 

The evening began with a wonderful dinner provided by our senior office
couples. 

Happy to be sharing this time together........

But...sad to be leaving!

Sister Parker reminding all of these missionaries to share a miracle from their
missions for our miracle book.

Why are these sisters huddled together??  We've been having air conditioning
problems at the mission home and it was pretty chilly!!!

Elder Larkin and Elder Wilmott on dish duty.  We are so appreciative of all of our
senior missionaries.  

A special guest at our dinner tonight is President Mark Rice, 1st counselor
in the mission presidency here.  But..he is leaving us to serve a mission in
Vanuatu.  We will miss him terribly but know that President and Sister Granger
are doing cartwheels with him coming!  A dear friend forever.

Senior couples with the missionaries leaving.  They serve so faithfully together
and there is a great love between the younger missionaries and the senior couples.
We all shed tears when they go:(
