The ¨last days¨...

In thinking about the many first experiences we have had

we rarely have time to stop and think about 

the ¨lasts¨...

We have had many missionaries leave and have given them their 

-last interview

-last dinner with us

-last hug or handshake

-last words of advice

BUT NOW

we have arrived at the point of where our firsts have become lasts

The month of April we have: 

-our last interview cycle

-our last batches of banana bread in Colombia

(and maybe forever!)

-the last time to sit one on one with many of our missionaries

Be prepared to finish strong with us as we LAST to the end of our mission.

The First of the Lasts was in Popayán.

We had interviews with the Popayán Zone on April 1st...


and then with 
THE OFFICE

Cordillera and Calima Zones

 (minus a few faces due to a photographer overload!)

Palmira Zone

Paraiso Zone

And then a quick trip south to the 

Pasto Zone

and
Ipiales Zone

And then one LAST time we enjoyed the Ipiales youth

and attended a wonderful baptismal service

¨wherefore, labor ye, labor ye in my vineyard for the last time--

for the last time call upon the inhabitants of the earth.¨
