Love and Best Wishes!

The missionaries who finished up in August were divided into two groups just a week apart.  All served with their hearts, might, mind and strength!  We wish them the very best as they continue on their journey, now better equipped than ever to meet the trials and challenges life has to offer.  Love and best wishes!

Blo-pong?  sure way to blow away any anxiety about leaving!
