Be Glad!

Under the direction of Sister Joan Elder, our zone prepared a good bye gift from our zone for President and Sister Randall--two mugs with the mission theme on them along with a card signed by most of our missionaries.  Because of Covid,  Gary and I missed the delivery of the gift, but our assistant zone leaders did a great job and had a sweet visit with the Randalls.  They sent this photo to us:

Sister Randall and I were talking about goodbyes yesterday.  This is their last weekend as mission president and companion.  We will all miss them so much.  They are such great examples of disciples of Christ.  She said that when they were being released as mission leaders in Japan in the mid-1990's, someone told them-- "Don't be sad about leaving.  Be glad that you have had this amazing experience."  She said that is what she is trying to do this time, too-- Be Glad!

We are glad as well that our lives have been touched by the Randalls and all of the other missionaries we have grown to love.  How lucky we have been and continue to be each and every day--even with Covid.
