President Brubaker tried to devise a plan to keep this great group of missionaries just a little while longer. We love each one of these missionaries as our own! We have reached a point in our mission where we were privileged to be here for 1/2 or more of their mission. We became so close! We expect great things in the lives of each one of these missionaries as they begin the next chapter of their lives.

elder LeFevre, Sister Brubaker, President Brubaker, Elder Morrow, and Elder Dalpias.
Elder LeFevre and Elder Dalpias were Zone Leaders when we arrived. We loved listening to their message machine. It was music to our ears during those wild and crazy first months of our mission!
After President Brubaker spent most of the day interviewing our missionaries for the last time, they came to the mission home ready for dinner! We had a precious evening with them, one of strong testimony and resolve to stay strong instruments in the Lord's work.
Sister Gulliver was over weight! Getting baggages just under 45 pounds can be challenging at times! The elders were available to help with her weight by taking a few belgium chocolates for themselves.
"Let the Light of the Lord Shine Through...that's what makes you beautiful!"
Elder and Sister Dabel finish their 2nd mission to Holland. Elder Dabel has served three missions to Holland, as he served here as a young elder. Oh , how we all love the Dabels. The missionaries who were fortunate to serve with them will always have a shining example of dedicated service to our Heavenly Father.
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.
As they passed through security, they take one longing book back,
and as Elder Morrow said in his farewell testimony, they say good-bye to
" The best two years FOR my life."
