This morning all of the new missionaries and their future trainers came to the mission home for some final instruction. We held a session to Train the Trainers. We also had a luncheon of enchiladas and salad with all the new missionaries and trainers.

Afterwards, we held a final set of instructions before getting to the exciting training assignments!

El Faro Missionaries Go Home! (Nov 28, 2017)

Today we say goodbye to a grand group of faithful missionaries. They have worked so hard and accomplished so much! We sure are sad to see them go, but are excited to see what they move on to do.

Pictures from the farewell banquet for the missionaries going home.

The last moments with the missionaries before they enter security.

Two missionaries were picked up by their families: Hermana Robinson and Nelson (as seen in general conference).

We greet the Nelson family!

Thanksgiving/Office Dedication

On Thanksgiving Day, we had the wonderful dedication of our office. Over the past few months, we have worked on many renovations to beautify the office, and we felt it was appropriate to re-dedicate it. President Dayton offered the dedicatory prayer.

We all gather in the office for the dedication.

We group together after the dedication for an El Faro cheer.

We had the joy of having Hermana Dayton's family with us for the day!

We get ready for the Thanksgiving feast.

Our office Elders (and grandchildren) decorate the Christmas Tree!
