August 25-26, 2015
I am borrowing the title of this blog from one of our missionaries. There is a wonderful picture of her coming out of the airport after she arrived safely home, holding a big sign that says "Mission Accomplished!" The smile and joy on her face says it all.
We are so grateful and happy to honor our 18 returning missionaries. They have served willingly and have accomplished so much during their missions. It is such a privilege to watch as they reach and grow, as they struggle and search, as they become filled with the light of Christ as they follow humbly in His footsteps. We send you home with our love and thanksgiving. God bless and watch over you always!

very dear.

Memories of the Mission
Right before leaving for
the airport, President Rahlf
invites these departing
missionaries into his office
to see the Transfer Board
and know how the work
will go forth.
Time to load the luggage
and say those last farewells.
Goodbye Cauayan!
They've left footprints across the mission
and we are all the better because of them.
God be with you 'til we meet again!
"If any man serve me, let him follow me;
and where I am there shall also my servant be:
if any man serve be, him will my Father honour."
John 12:26
