Departing and Arriving Missionaries - August 22-23, 2011

We went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for the departing missionaries' last meal of their mission.

We had a nice testimony meeting afterwards at the mission home. They are all valiantly returning!

Awesome group of missionaries on their first day in the mission field!
