Departing Elders..... :( May 6, 2011

The longer we are out here, the harder it is to say good-bye to our departing Missionaries.

Elder Stohel and Elder Lewis in months past have spent quite a bit of time at the Mission Home because of different callings they held in the Mission. We will miss these two Elders and their great spirits! We love you, Elders Stohel and Lewis! Keep in touch!

We are all wondering if Elder Stohel really wore this very large tie on his mission. He says he did. He is a former Assistant and was a great help to both President and me. Before his mission he was training to be a Medic. He reports to the National Guard on Monday for assignment.

Elder Lewis DID wear this tie (as a joke)....unfortunately it was on a night that the two of us had to take an arriving Missionary to the Emergency room to get stitches after he fell in the Mission Home. Elder Lewis was a little embarrassed about the tie, but his Polish made up for it that night. It was a bonding moment for the two of us, so it was only proper that this tie be left with me.

NOTE: These two Elders WIN the award for leaving the downstairs in the best condition ever! It looked great! Thank you for making my life easier!!! STAY IN TOUCH WITH US.
