Missionaries Going Home, sadly!

I realize that it is always wonderful for families to have their missionaries, whether young or not as young, arrive home. However, it is usually very hard for us to say good-bye. We have grown to love and appreciate these missionaries and all they have done to serve the Lord. We miss them a lot but know they will all continue to serve faithfully throughout their lives!

Elder and Sora Van Noy, with Sora and President Lundberg. The Van Noys were Public Affairs missionaries and did a great job helping the people of Romania to become aware of the church.

Rosie, left, comes one day a transfer to put on a spread for the departing and arriving missionaires. She's an amazing cook that can put on a huge feast with one oven---and it is always warm and tasty.

Last evening with Elder Horgmo, Elder Campbell, Sora and Elder Jessee.

We had a great final testimony meeting with these missionaries before parting. Elder Horgmo and Elder Campbell served all over the mission, while the Jessees served in Arad and oversaw the leadership training. We appreciate all they did to strengthen the saints and help the kingdom to grow! We miss them all!
