One Happy Elder
Elder Williams has been a gigantic missionary in size and spirit
His smile defined his mission...happily serving his Father in Heaven.
One Happier Family
Happily reunited!

One of the big tests to see if they are ready to go back into ¨real life¨
is watching them try to choose something from a menu...
instead of being handed a plate of rice, beans, and chicken.
They did just fine...little decisions can bring great blessings!
Two contented Elders
Elders Lamoreaux and Silva have been great leaders in the mission.
They will be remembered for their willingness to DO in whatever the circumstance.
On their way to the arms of their families!...well done Elders!
Mission Accomplished Elder Lamoreaux!
Welcome Home Elder Silva!

Seven Ready Elders
Elders Faúndez, Low, Reyes, Rivadeneira, Edwards, Olguin, and Hutchison
They have finished strong and are ready to return with honor.
We had a special night with them to say farewell
It has been a ¨sweet¨ blessing to have these missionaries
in the Cali, Colombia mission!
Until we meet again...
(the saddest part of the morning was a change in flight plans
and not being able to see Elder Rivadeneira and Elder Olguin
off at the airport...they had to leave on an earlier flight
and we arrived 10 minutes after they left!)
Watch out USA here they come!
Elders Hutchison, Low, and Edwards
Many members from Palmira arrived at the airport to say Good-bye!
To send Elder Faúndez off to Chile
and
Elder Reyes back to Argentina
Another group of members came to see them off
They are beloved missionaries!
And their families and friends are READY to have them home!
Reunited again...
Elder Edwards and Elder Walton!
Elder Rivadeneira back at home!
