May Departures

Every six weeks we say goodbye to a batch of faithful, beloved missionaries. Each cycle it seems to get harder and harder. We had a wonderful final day together, dinner and testimony meeting. For once we had to wait for close to an hour to find a bus with room on it. This is summer vacation (April and May) and families are traveling so the buses are packed. We normally send them on Victory Bus lines because they have the best safety record. When we couldn't find one with room we called our travel advisor in Manila who said to just use any bus. So we finally found a bus with enough seats on it.
