More Saying Goodbye to a very Special Batch

We will never forget these amazing missionaries!

Look at these amazing departing missionaries! (Front row: Sister Laguitan, Elder Hardman, Elder Bangal, Sister Baladjay. Back row: Elder Castillo, Elder Dahlin, Elder Riner, Elder Ward, Elder Hale, Elder Cantos and Sister Webre)

Members of Roxas Zone modeled their zone t-shirts in honor of Elder Cantos and Elder Dahlin who were leaving from their zone.

Elder Schmidt wears a gift from Elder Hardman our only departing missionary from Magna, Utah.

Missionaries came to the departing fireside. They left with a strengthened testimony as they listened to the great testimonies and words of advice from those were heading home.

Elder Castillo (tallest missionaries) says goodbye to some of his great mission friends.

These faithful Saints came to say goodbye to Sister Webre. She has fans throughout the mission who could feel her love for them.

Sister Laguitan (in the center) has so many friends in the mission. She is such a thoughtful friend. I was always taking uniquely wrapped gifts to her former companions. It seems like yesterday that Sister Laguitan arrived in the mission!

 All departing missionaries enjoyed our traditional Rudiyaki Chicken dinner, which is President's secret recipe!

Cherry and Blueberry Cobbler for dessert--yummy!

President Uy, Sister Uy and their three darling children came to the bus station to see off Elder Bangal, Elder Hale and Sister Webre--as all three missionaries had served in Cauayan.

 Elder Ward, Elder Hale and Elder Hardman were settling in for their all night bus ride to Manila. These buses are known running the air conditioner on full blast and so everyone usually freezes.

Elder Cantos and Elder Castillo had mixed feelings about leaving the mission and returning home. They were excited and sad.
