Leavers

Sister Teuiras turn to leave something for us.

Thank you for the privilege of serving with you beautiful Sister Teuira.  You have 

Courage like Nephi.  We will always love you and remember all you did to hasten the 

Work here in the Australia Adelaide Mission.  Forever in our hearts.

till we meet again-love you.

The amazing Elder Christy.  Can't imagine this mission without him.  

We will miss this great missionary so much.  He has been a valiant leader and a 

Consecrated Disciple of Christ.  He has a huge heart. Loved by all-Elder Christy. 

For some reason its a tradition to take the last photos in this place of the mission home.

There is a lot of love right here!  Elder and Sister Anderson, Elder Christy, Elder and

Sister Withington , Sister Teuira and Sister Totele.

Well done thy good and faithful servants.  Sending our love with you. 

We were blessed to have Elder  Christy serve 3 more weeks before he  completed his mission

And left for Sydney.  President and Sister Parker, and the assistants, enjoyed a 

Quick dinner together with Elder Christy the night before he left. Love these Elders!

Different kinds of fruit.  Here they are using watermelon, pineapple, coconut, and

Some cream. Love o"Tai-love these sisters!

Their missions.  Elder Christy will be leaving us in about 3 weeks and Sister Totele,

Smiling and always working hard.  This is one courageous and diligent sister.  We

Some very special people came to say good-bye to Sister Teuira.  When Sister Teuira

Arrived in the mission she was very sick and these two wonderful people took such

Great care of her.  Isn't a Ward family wonderful-even for a missionary!
