DEPARTING INTERVIEWS AND TIE ONE ON

This was a crazy day. The departing interviews started early in the morning and I feed these missionaries breakfast. They have a final interview with Pres. Albright and I just get to visit with the rest of them in the living room. I get them to mark their favorite scripture in my special set reserved for this. I get a favorite conversion story for a special book and they get to put their tie on the banister. A sign of departure and a tradition in this mission.
We were having a 4 district barbecue in the afternoon and these 2 activities got interlapped a little bit.
Elder Stirling Sill. It will be hard to see him go. He served as our Assistant for 6 months and we spent a lot of time together.
Elder Bales. A lot of fun. Always happy. A fello Las Vegan. Although he is going home by way of Iowa where he lived when he left.


Elder Nielson. Everyone loves him. Quiet and diligent. He will be missed in the burg.
Elder Metcalf. Another great leader. Can't believe I got him without his smile.
Elder Hunt. Devoted to the work. Steadfast is how is peers described him.
