After 2 full years…returning home...

Great looking missionaries prepared to return home after honorable, wonderful service.  They will be missed so much.  Some of these Sisters arrived after we did!

The Christensen and Martinez families came to pick up their missionaries, what a wonderful time we had meeting and visiting with the parents.

 During and after interview the missionaries, visit, play the piano, and go to Avenida España for last minute shopping.

 Elder Fernandez, played a little guitar

Elder Callapa got in a quick nap.

 Then we all hopped on the bus and headed off to the airport.

As is a tradition, many  members came to the airport to say good-bye to their missionaries.

 

 Hugs good-bye from President and Sister Marler,

Chace helping Elder Winterton with some last minute details

 We love gathering together for the last good-bye before the missionaries get on the plane.  Every memory tucked away, to remember each other for eternity.
