Celebrating Four Sisters Moving on to New Adventures!

It is difficult to say goodbye to such sweet missionaries. However, knowing they are on to new adventures you just can't be sad for long. They have touched our hearts and the hearts of many others here in Mesa. Their example of service and love with remain with us. Farewell for now and may your focus always remain to help others Come Unto Christ!

Hermanas Garcia and Weber came to lunch, but we didn't get a good picture so we took it the next day.

 Hermanas Taboada and Longshore and Sister Smith and Weedman, came for lunch.
Hermana Longshore and Sister Smith are returning home.

We sure love these missionaries! They promise to keep in touch!

I hope to see them all again in Ogden! Hope, hope, hope!

This was such a good picture of Elder Ballard had to include it. 

Celebration breakfast at the Camerons. 

Sister Younce, Sister Brown, Hermanas Mayorca and Garcia, Sister Avanesjan, and Hermana Leon all line up!
We served pancakes, sausage, juice, milk and fruit. Yummy!

Sisters Rios, Smith, Whitten, Weedman and Hermana Orr, can't wait!

Hermanas Hourrutiner, Alcocer, Longshore and Weber are next!

Hermanas Taboada, Jeppson, Sister Tingey, Hermanas Cude and Duffin then Sister Beaudette.

Sister Pickett, Hermana Ricks, Sisters Taumarawa and Finau and Hermana Luna, still some left! 

Through the tears of the morning saying goodbye, they can still smile!

Tulips make a nice centerpiece, just like the missionaries!

Elder Cameron making sure they get enough to eat, and cleaning up.

The final photo op for these four that are returning home with honor!

The cooks all wore blue! Had to snap this one. It's Sister Ballard, then Sister Andrus and Sister Cameron.

Oh what a lovely bunch of missionaries!

We have had lunch with some of the others that were leaving which I haven't posted. Some I forgot to take pictures of, oops. Thought I would add some here. I'll try to keep better track. We enjoy feeding the missionaries assigned to our ward and also the Elders. We like to get to know them and this is a great way! This is our tradition now so I will document it better in the future. We missed a few, sorry.

We had lunch with Sister Gordon before she left,

and her companion Sister Finau. They were also so kind to us and got to know us. 

Sisters Brownell and Brown and Hermanas Jeppson and DeMille. came to lunch before we said
goodbye to Sister Brownell and DeMille. These sister are precious and we will miss their presence, and their
many talents.

Hermanas Valledares (leaving us) and Mayorca, Sisters Hamstead (leaving us) and Younce.
What great missionaries they are and we all learned so much from them.
