Leavers Dinner

Thanks to this incredible dessert maker, Sister Snell, we enjoyed some delicious

Dessert before beginning the tie cutting portion of the evening.

A few of our mission sons and daughters. Lots of happy tears shed tonight as we

Rejoice in the time we have served together. These  missionaries are prepared and

Have a great foundation to stay faithful and endure to the end. 

Hoping they are feeling very loved-because they are!  

Sister Samita, Sister Teriihaunui, Sister Jorrakhe, Elder Bennion, Elder Mose and

Elder Angelo. Well done thou good and faithful servants. 

Sister Jorrakhe is first to let us have a memory to keep of her.

Sister Jorrakhe-an obedient, diligent missionary with a loving heart. I don’t think we 

Have ever seen her without a smile. Love this wonderful missionary forever.

Next is Sister Teriihaunui!

It took us awhile to be able to say this great missionaries name right, but we have it now

And we love her so much!  We watched her become a bold, fearless missionary with

Great kindness and love.  Oh how we will miss you Sister Teriihaunui.  We love you.

Sister Samita leaving a part of herself behind for us.

You are looking at one of the hardest working missionaries in the mission.  Sister

Samita is an amazing missionary!  She is obedient. She is consecrated.  And she

Works  hard every minute of every day.  We love you so much Sister Samita!

Sister Collins is first.  

I always feel so bad cutting their beautiful things that we have seen them serve in

Day in and day out. But we will think of them  and remember the blessing of serving

With them every time we look at it. Sister Collins is a fabulous missionary.  She has

A huge heart and a great gift for working with the members and by her love and serving

Them, they want to be more involved with missionary work.  She is a great minister-er

If that’s a word?  The sisters know she loves them and she will be very very missed!  

Love you Sister Collins.

Sister Fossett is next.

Again, sad to cut such a beautiful fabric.  We will miss this great missionary so very

Much.  It has been such a joy to serve with her and watch her  progress and become

A total converted disciple of Christ.  The members love her to pieces and she has

Humbly accepted every transfer assignment and served diligently. She radiates the Light 

Of Christ and will love her forever.

Next is Elder Ellingson!

With or without a tie, this is an amazing missionary!  We love you Elder Ellingson

And it has been such a pleasure to serve with such a talented, willing, consecrated

Missionary.  Elder Ellingson has been a great leader in this mission and President has 

Depended on him with full confidence as he went about doing good and fulfilling

His responsibilities.  We will miss you so much Elder and love you forever.

This is Elder Burdge!  HE is next.

Just like when you get an injection, its better not to look!  We love you Elder Burdge

And will treasure the time we served together.  It has been such a joy to serve with

You as we watched you minister and bless the lives of all you came in contact with.

We love your knowledge of the scriptures and your wonderful insightful comments at

Trainings.  We will miss that.  Another great leader who’s influence will be felt for a

Long time in this mission. 

And this is Elder Payne!

We are so grateful to have served with this wonderful missionary.  We love you Elder 

Payne .  You always have a smile and bring joy to everyone around you.  Thank you

For all of your good works and the diligent manner that you served in the AAM.  

Thank  you for the great kindness with which you always have shown to us and to all 

Around you. Thank you for your inspired comments at trainings that taught us all.

We are excited to see what the Lord has in store for you next.
