That time again . . . Another Farewell

This group included missionaries from four countries,  our first American sisters and two elders who returned home for several months each in the middle of their missions for medical reasons and then returned. Elder Mendoza has the distinct honor of celebrating three Christmases with us!

We will certainly miss them all.

How can anyone not love these cute Hermanas?!!

 The entire group of sisters

Our pioneers.  The first American sister missionaries to serve in the Mexico Guadalajara Mission. There were four others in their group originally. One sister is now serving in Illinois due to knee problems, another broke her ankle and went home for three months so will be returning in August, and another had to go home a couple months early due to health. The fourth is a Latin sister from the United States who entered the MTC three weeks later and so opted to go home during the next change instead.

 And our wonderful group of elders!

 My Mother's Day dinner. :-)

 Elder Mendoza and his ugly socks.

We wish them all the very best!! And hope Elder Mendoza gets some new socks!!
