FHE with leaving missionaries

After a quick. Lunch at the church, we gathered at the Mission home for a special

Family home Evening with the missionaries preparing to leave. 

they received the last counsel from President and Sister Parker before they return

Home and begin the next exciting phase of their lives.  Stay by the Shepherd!

Next we attended a great baptism at the Prospect chapel where this blimp was proclaiming

To all  to “Light the World!” in 25 ways over 25 days! 

Elder Dietze  letting his light shine!

Elder Ellingson-adding his light!

A beautiful sight to behold:)

Its that happy sad day again where we have the privilege of being in the Temple with

Those missionaries who have completed their full-time missions.  We are so blessed

To have a temple in Adelaide and to have the wonderful experience of being with each

Of them in the House of the Lord before they return home.  Elder Burdge, Elder Gaastra,

Elder Payne, Elder Dietze, Elder Nelson , Elder Ellingson, sister Collins and Sister

Fossett. Oh how we love you.
