Leaver Dinner


Sister Lu is first to leave us something for the mission tie board.
Leaving behind a piece of a dress for us to eventually make into the mission quilt.
Sister Lu is such a light in this mission.  She lights up the room when she enters with
Her beautiful smile and love for all. We miss you already and love you forever.
Sister Caesar is next.  Love this beautiful sister so much.  She has been a great blessing
To all of us.
Leaving a piece of a scarf isn’t the only thing Sister Caesar will leave behind. She leaves
A great legacy as she has influenced so many missionaries for good.  A great leader and
A great example of a diligent, obedient, consecrated missionary.  Love you forever.
Sister Rohlfing is next.  Can’t even imagine this mission without the Rohlfings. Working
From sun up to sun down and sometimes longer than that Elder and Sister Rohlfing are
Loved by all.
Sister Rohlfing has blessed us with her many talents, her diligent work and her great
Love for the Lord.  A beautiful, righteous woman in the Latter Days who serves
With all of her heart, might, mind and strength.  Love you forever dear friend. 
Next is Sister Sennett who will always be in our hearts. This beautiful sister missionary
Is filled with charity and her great faith.Her amazing example inspires all of us to
Do better. 
Sister Sennett also leaves with us a special tie from Elder Sennett which brings tender feelings
For all of us. Oh how we miss him and treasure the memories of serving together. Two 
Missionaries who live what we as missionaries proclaim....that families can be together
Forever through Heavenly fathers plan. WE love you forever Elder and Sister Sennett.
We will need to find a very special place on the tie board for this very special tie. 
Hastening the work of salvation on both sides of the veil.  We love you so much. 
Thank you for your unwavering examples and faith.

Completed their missions.  Elder and Sister Snell spend countless hours helping

Blessed to have Elder and Sister Snell serving in this mission.
