Doctrine & Covenants 31:3
For our departing missionaries, it feels like that "hour" flew by! It is hard to believe that the months and years of full-time missionary service are complete...although a lifetime of missionary work lies wonderfully ahead.
We are deeply grateful for this group of about-to-be RMs. They have walked and taught and searched and prayed and yearned and smiled and been willing servants of the Savior as they declared "glad tidings of great joy unto this generation."
We thank them for choosing to be missionaries and for the deep footprints they've left here.
Gathering in the mission home

Before
Wednesday morningLeaving words of counsel and encouragement for our
new missionaries that will arrive in a couple of hours.
Checking out the Transfer Board
right before we leave for the
airport.
The journey awaits...with some very happy families at the other end of it.
May God bless and watch over you always. Until we meet again...
When we returned to pick up our
arriving missionaries, we were
greeted by this wonderful sight!
And here they are!!
Six Sisters and two Elders and
we are so happy they are here!

The sun never sets on the work of the Lord.
"For behold, the field is white already to harvest; and lo,
he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might,
the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not,
but bringeth salvation to his soul."
D&C 4:4
