This was a week of welcoming 4 new missionaries and saying farewell to 2 sisters and 3 elders that have taken with them a piece of our hearts! We hope to remember always the meaningful associations we had with these 5.

Elder Lewis from Washington

Sister Newey from Utah

Elder Gova from Zimbabwe

Elder Ernst from Utah

Goodbye to our beautigul Fijian! Home for her is the island of Kiribati....pronounced Kiribis.

When Elder Neil L. Anderson learned where she was from he asked her to address a full chapel of Lusaka members and tell them about her people and islands and what it means to them to have a temple being rededicated that same weekend that Elder Anderson was with us in Zambia.

Sisters Tuai and Andriamomonjisoa

Farewell to lovely Sister Frimpong! Home to London.

Elder Jena home to Johannesburg.

Elder Welling home to Evanston Wyoming

Elder Shabalala home to Durban SA.

Office elders and assistants and the Groesbecks sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me and we ate cake before rushing off to the airport.
