Hellos and Good-byes


Hello!
 A few weeks ago we had the 
wonderful opportunity of seeing 
some sweet friends again! 
Elder and Sis. Howell came to the
 Manila Temple.  We were in the 
MTC with the Howell's plus our 
daughter's had served as mission 
companions in the San Diego 
Mission! The Howell's came with 
a group of Latter-day Saints
 from Malaysia!

It was wonderful to get to see them again! That was a fun hello but a few days later, we were saying good-bye to our mission leaders, Pres. and Sis. DeLaMare and the Hables from our Branch.
  We had a big party but the cute guy in the yellow shirt fell out of a tree and broke his 
elbow so their family was home tending him! We also found another connection with 
Derek and Cathy.  Cathy's dad had played football at BYU with Elder DuPaix!
 It is a small world!
Janice and Doug McAllister with the DeLaMares
Sorry Pres. Bohn! Didn't mean to catch you eating!!!
This is the cute Little Family! We have gotten to work with them in
Sunday School and with the music at Church!




Charity Windsor and Melinda Bailey


And I made GF lemon bars to celebrate the event!
Several of us are gluten intolerant in our Branch!



 Elder and Sis. Harris are our office couple! They work so hard to keep the mission going. 





 We will have to tell them good-bye at the end of July along with Elder and Sis. Miller.
 
We had also had to say good-bye to our cute legal externs! Shantel and Alex were only 
here for six weeks but you become a family when you are away from home!

 Then came some of the hardest news of our mission. Elder and Sister Hadlock had to return
 home from their mission early as Sis. Hadlock's cancer returned after three years in remission! 
We don't like good-byes!
 Sis. Hadlock, The DeLaMares, Elder Hadlock 
They were serving as our Humanitarian Country Directors.
Our last Zone Conference of Monson's Warriors before Pres. and Sis. DeLaMare returned home.
Good- bye :-(
