The Goodbye Group

Today was our last time to send a batch of missionaries home. This was a big group! They are known as "The Glenda Batch" named after a typhoon that came right through our mission two years ago. These elders rode in a van from the Manila MTC to our Mission Office in the middle of the typhoon. Their first night here was spent at the mission home because transfer day had been cancelled, and they had no where else to go. It was fun to have them back in our home, but very hard to say goodbye!

A handsome looking group of elders!

 Today was also the last time for President and me to go into the Manila Temple. We decided to have a picture taken in front of the temple. So many memories.

 Elder Flitton and Elder Ramos

Elder Lagumbay wanted a special picture with President Tye

 

 Lunch was at Project Pie.

 This reminds me of 2 years ago when they all slept at the Mission Home during Typhoon Glenda

Heading Back To India

After six months of being our adopted elders, Elder Singh and Elder Huskey are going back to India to finish their mission. They are a part of our family now - and we will miss them! Thank you Heavenly Father for sending them to Cavite while they waited for their Visa's to clear. 

Paalam - Ingot Po! 

With Deep Appreciation . . .

Our release papers came via FedEx today. We know it's time - we can feel the three years coming to an end. Nevertheless it is still hard to read the words, "With Deep Appreciation For The Valuable Service..."

Below is our attempt to use the timer on my camera. We wanted a picture of us holding our FAREWELL letter while standing in front of our FAREWELL tarpaulin, but it took us a while to figure out how the timer works. We took some silly pics, but we had fun and
made MORE memories.
