The Last of the Lasts....

Our last group of missionaries arrived tonight, after almost a three week delay due to visa delays. They arrived at the end of a very busy week. We were beat but happy to greet them. They were so excited to finally be here...we will miss getting to know them. Missionaries are GREAT!

The last of the zone goodbyes. Some have been with tears, others with laughter, some had treats waiting as a farewell, others sent us off with gifts and others sang a hymm as we left.

Pico de Orizaba...I wondered if we would see the top of the mountain on our last trip to Orizaba. Many times it is hidden by the clouds. We were excited to have a clear view on our last visit. These little blessings ....

The last of the brownie making! As we made our last visits throughout the mission I gave each missionary a brownie...they were so thrilled, that it made all of the early morning and late night baking worth it.

Our last stake conference assignment was in Tierra Blanca. Here we are with the stake president( Pres. Salomon) and his wife (Violeta). I loved visiting with Violeta. These goodbyes are hard. What we could not communicate verbally our hugs and tears said it for us.
