Departing Missionaries


A fond farewell to Sister Sarah Healey, Elders Jordan Hill and
Tyler BennettElder Jordan McCort stayed a few extra days to help out with
English Camp!

We were teaching a lesson at the mission home a few nights ago with the Sister missionaries, and the investigator asked why we are sad when someone dies if the next life is such a great place. She had just been telling us about how her mother was sobbing and sobbing because she was moving out of the house for the first time to go to college. She was able to see the similarity of how painful it is for those left behind when someone they love moves on, even though the separation may be temporary. It's same way I feel when these missionaries who are so dear to my heart go home. Their futures are exciting, and I will see them again, but oh, how I will miss them!
