FAREWELL

Greeting friends at the farewell

One of the great traditions that the Area Presidency has here in Guatemala is the farewells that they have for each couple that is leaving their mission or service in the area. Great that is....until it is your turn. This is traditionally a pot luck dinner (which you know is always the best food) followed by thanks and good wishes for the departing missionaries.


We were lucky to be able to share our farewell with Bill and Adele Blackburn. They will be leaving one week after we are. Sharing made it a little less painful to have all the attention on us. We did enjoy getting to see all the area people one last time......as well as being able to thank them for their influence in our lives.

The couples from Victoria Suites had composed a song to the tune of "Leaving on a Jet Plane". It was adorable and they had a great time singing it....

The Blackburns....the other departing couple

We are now officially sorting out the apartment and packing our bags!!!
