Mission Farewells

We went to a lot of missionary farewells this summer as Alyssa's room mates and friends started to leave one by one. The first one that we attended was for Kate Glazier. She was headed off for Edmonton, Canada. We had a chance to visit with Liesel and Hallie during the luncheon.

The next one I went to with just Ashley Danny was out of town and the boys did not know her well. We didn't get any pictures with her, but here is the yard sign at her house. She is currently serving in the Mesa, Arizona mission.

We watched Robbie's farewell via zoom and then had the chance to see him the day before he went into the Provo MTC. He was headed off to the Jacksonville, Florida mission. 

The last one that we attended was for Liesel Ford. Our whole family has been close to Liesel for a few years now. She is serving in the France, Lyon mission. The picture is funny because it almost looks like a family picture, just swapping Alyssa for Leisel. 

We also went to a few different farewells and homecomings in our own ward and in the YSA ward this summer. Now we have a little bit of a break from it and will start up with all of the homecomings for Alyssa and her friends starting next summer. And then Ashley's friends will start leaving. 

I'm on quite a few missionary email lists, so my Monday evenings are filled with reading all of the emails. LOL.
