Aloha--'Til We Meet Again

because saying good-bye is hard and also doesn't seem right.  We treasure our friendships and even the smallest interactions that we have had with the missionaries in our mission and the staff that we have worked with.  And to the beloved missionaries of the Collections Zone--you are forever planted in our hearts.

Our zone and the sweet sisters in the SPC lab (who used to be part of our zone--mainly sweet Sister Aolipa McClure) planned an Aloha luncheon in the Nauvoo Room of the Church History Library. There was lots of yummy food and desserts.

Sister McClure another sister in the SPC lab prepared these pretty leis for us to wear.

We had a few of our missionaries who joined in over Zoom which is why the screen is on behind us.

We were lucky to have all six members of the mission presidency join us for lunch.  How kind is that in the middle of their very busy days.  President Holmes is standing and speaking with President and Sister Faerber, Sister Holmes and Sister Jackson on talking on the other end.

The view of our backs!!??


They asked Gary and I each to speak and then President Holmes shared a few comments.
