Fond Farewells

The day came when it was time to say goodbye to some of the best missionaires in the entire world! We had dreaded this day for quite sometime. Not only were we losing a beloved AP but every one of these missionaries had found a special place in our hearts. The three sisters were revered and admired as were the five elders.
As usual they spent their last day in a Career Training Workshop. The traditional Rudiyaki Chicken Dinner followed with a very special testimony meetings. This time there were tons of tears and we heard each missionary share the things of their hearts. Then came the exodus to the bus station and we wept as we waved goodbye!


Those departing were: Sister De Fiesta, Sister Valdoz, Sister Concepcion, Elder Ferrer, Elder Hausia, Elder Acha, Elder Obando and kneeling were Elder Rondilla and Elder Malilom



Look at those awesome people in the back of the bus!

We have a motto here in the Philippines Cauayan Mission of "No Regrets" we want every missionary to be able to leave at the appointed time and say "I have done what I came to do and I have no regrets!" Well Elder Rondilla decided to leave a parting message for the other missionaries and he took out his dentures to add his funny twist. We showed this picture at the end of our Transfer Day slide show and every one cracked up!
