Saying Hello & Goodbye

This month we had one Senior couple and one single Senior leave.  It is always hard to say goodbye when you become like family here in Tonga.  But we also got to say Hello to two wonderful Senior couples that has  brought laughter and happiness to our little Senior Couple Family.  Following are the pictures of these events.

This the Elder and Sister Moncrief with President and Sister Tupou.  He is a doctor and will be the doctor for the mission.  His wife will be managing the Mission Office.

This is the group that was able to greet them at the airport.  They came in the middle of the week so a lot of us was not able to be there due to other commitments in our mission.

Here is the arrival of Sister Radmacker.  She was very happy to be here!  Sister Holbrook is putting a lei on her.

This is Elder Radmacker who also was very happy to be here.  Elder Holbrook just put a lei on him as well. Elder and Sister Radmacker are ITEP missionaries.  They will be working with the Liahona Schools.

This is the group that came to greet them.  Also there is a young Elder who was returning home that had been on the same flight as them.

This is Elder and Sister Funaki who was part of our Senior Family and they are just checking in to fly home.  They will be greatly missed here in Tonga.

And here is our wonderful Sister Burbank, the Mission nurse.  She spoiled all the young Elders and Sisters, including the Seniors.   We will all be lost without her and her wonderful smile.  She is headed to Canada to her family.

Here is Sister Burbank's final goodbye.  Oh how she will be missed!
