Farewells are hard to do

Farewell to missionaries

A large group of missionaries leaving. We lose 15 and gain 9. Numbers should increase in about September or so. In the front is Elder Velasco, from Chiapas. We get to know and love these missionaries. They are awesome!


 Farewell to President and Sister Mathews

We got together for dinner on the deck of our apartment. All the senior missionaries on our island were there. It was great! Burritos! Yay for Mexican food! Extremely rare around here. We have to make our own, and use substitute ingredients in some cases.



President and Sister Mathews, headed back to the USA and their family after 5 years of service: 2 years as senior missionaries and another 3 years as mission presidents on top of that. Very dedicated to the Lord and His work!


This is our Temple Preparation class. One of the sisters was missing that day. They have now finished all the lessons and are working on getting passports and visas so they can go to the temple in October. We are so happy for them. They are stalwarts and a great strength to the branch!



Family Home Evening with the Assistants and a lovely family they are teaching. So much fun!
