Our going home batch, from the left Elders Seggay, Hansen, Cello,
Howes, Sister Buduan, Elders Thompson and Burton, Me, Elder
Adams, President, Elders Ah Wong, Alvaro, Kartchner, Torculas,
and Tolentino. We will miss them so much!
We are pictured here with Elder Revillo. He and Elder Manzon
went home a little earlier so didn't get in the batch picture.
Here we are with Elder Manzon...
Sister Buduan was the only Sister going home this time! That
made it kind of hard on her to not have a regular companion!
Here we go!! Elder Howes leading the way with Elder Merriam
close behind him!
Elder Alvaro and his family are waving goodbye!
Waiting...
Loading up the bus!
We had to get a picture with all the Elders with suits! Aren't they
handsome. It's too bad that it's too hot to wear them here! They
sure look more professional, huh?
We are pictured here with Elder Alvaro and his family that came to
pick him up! From the left, his 14 yr. old brother, Father, Mother,
Me, President, Elder Alavro and his 17 yr. old brother.
What a nice family! It was nice to visit with them!
Getting ready to walk with the luggage to the bus stop...
made it kind of hard on her to not have a regular companion!
close behind him!
We are walking to the bus stop at the end of the road!
And here we wait for the right bus to come! Back and from the left
is Elders Thompson, Burton and Adams, then, Elders Tolentino,
Hansen, Cello Seggay and Howes.
The bus has arrive!
Hugs goodbye... Elder Adams... with Elder Burton looking on...
More hugs...Elder Thompson...
I don't normally get to hug the Elders. However, I hug them
goodbye! I am giving Elder Thompson a hug. Elders Tolentino,
Seggay and Cello standing by. Elder Ah Wong is back by
the bus, seeing that his luggage gets loaded on the bus!
Elders Tolentino and Seggay getting their luggage on!
We can see Elder Thompson and Elder Cello waving goodbye!
I'm not sure, but it looks like President is shedding a few tears as
the bus is loaded and taking off!
We always have a Family Home Evening the night before the
Missionaries depart! They all bore such strong testimonies. It
helps so much to get to see the growth and strength they have
acquired during their mission! We have confidence that they will
continue to serve, feast upon the words of Christ and remain
faithful... We love them all!
Hello Sister Peterson-
ReplyDeleteWe thought you of especially during the MP seminar last week. It's been wonderful to be home but we miss our mission every single day. You will be getting a wonderful young elder in January. His name is Elder Wooden. His brother was one of our best missionaries. He toured the country when his brother was released last April and so he has an idea of what he will be experiencing. Last night we went to their home and talked all about what makes for a successful missionary and we could tell that he is ready and raring to go. You will love him! Take good care and enjoy the rest of your mission. I remember that things started accelerating around October of our last year and the time just whizzed by faster than ever before. Our prayers are with you! With love, The Carlos'
Is everyone safe out there? Just saw about a typhoon in Manilla. I'm praying for you all out there and hope to hear that everyone is safe soon! Love you.
