More Missionaries Leaving

 
Elder Corotan is next to leave his tie behind. Love this missionary so much.
 
 
Can't imagine this mission without Elder Corotan.  He has been a faithful leader.
Thank you for your beautiful leaving testimony that we will never forget.  This is
one courageous missionary who can do hard things.  We love you forever our 
missionary son. 
 
Elder Duabe is not taking his eyes off of those scissors!  
 
 
HE did it!  Elder Duabe we will miss you so much.  This Elder also did hard things.
Thank you for your great example of a consecrated missionary.  Thank you for
showing us how to be courageous and do hard things.  Thank you for always being
such a gentleman. We love you forever.  
 
I love Elder Corotans scriptures.  Each dotted book tells a story. 

Missionaries Leaving

 
Three more wonderful missionaries have finished their fulltime service in the mission
field.  Elder Corotan , Elder Duabe and Sister Boswell are returning home to their 
families after serving valiantly. We love each of these missionaries so much and
are so grateful for their service and for the privilege of serving together. 

 
A few of the senior couples who love them so much too!
 
Sister Hall has perfected the yummy rice she brings to many of our dinners.  Love these
sisters:)
 
Elder Corotan and Elder Duabe will both return to the Philippines. These are
such kind hearted missionaries with humble hearts and love for everyone.  But
they have also learned to be bold and to open their mouths, sharing the Gospel
message with everyone.
 
Elder and Sister Hall wear many hats in this mission.  We are thankful for their
many talents that they so willingly share.
 
Elder and Sister Larkin who work from sun up to sun down. We are forever
grateful for their consecration to the hastening of the work.  They are always
willing to do whatever they are asked.  And are often helping before anyone asks
at all. 
 
After a lovely dinner together, Sister Boswell is first to leave a little something behind.
 
 
Sister Boswell, are you sure you can't stay??? Sister Boswell was in the first group of
missionaries we picked up at the airport after we arrived in Adelaide.  So she is
 one of our firstborn!It is so hard to say goodbye.  You are a light to the world Sister
Boswell.  We will miss you more than words can say.  But you are in our hearts 
forever.  We love you.

Alice Springs

 
After training these missionaries were having some fun. We are happy they love to be together.
 
So blessed to serve with these amazing missionaries.  We are in awe of their strength and
testimonies. If you want real happiness, serve the Lord, Jesus Christ and keep His
commandments. Love you Elder U-Fa and Elder Touma.
 
Elder Flinders, one of our assistants, says goodbye to many of these missionaries
as he will be going home soon and this is his last trip to Alice Springs. These
missionaries truly love and respect each other and no doubt will be eternal friends 
or mates!!  Elder Baker and Elder Leutele-Bush Elders, completely trusted by
President Parker and given the huge responsibility of serving our aboriginal
brothers and sisters. Love these missionaries!  
 
This is where the Bush Elders call home sweet home. The community love these
Elders so much.  They serve them with all of their heartt, might, mind and strength.
 
And this is where they sleep,with fly/spider nets included. These great
missionaries will have stories to tell to their grandchildren:)
 
In the middle of Specialty Training President Parker received a phone call about 
Elder Hobby, serving in Darwin who had been in an accident.  This photo is taken
a few days later and now he is smiling with his companions, Elder Esqueta and
Elder Hamilton.  We believe in miracles!!
 
After a few days in the hospital, Elder Hobby is on his way to stay at Elder and Sister
Farrers for a few days of R & R. Our hearts are full of gratitude for his recovery
and for angels who were on his right side and on his left side. We love you so
much Elder Hobby and will continue to pray for you and your recovery. We believe
in the power of the Priesthood. 
 
With Presidents two incredibly talented assistants. Elder Flinders and Elder McMurray,
These 2 work so hard.  They give their all every single day.  We have been blessed
to get to know them, to serve with them and to learn from them. They are the Best!
Love you forever.
