Last Lunch — Missionaries — Again

Somehow I managed to delete this post from the blog. It did not even save the draft I had so I have to start over from scratch. I apologize to brother Thorne who added a comment that I also managed to remove it also.

On Tuesday we held our Last Lunch for the district. Elder Thorne knew that he was being transferred and would not be here for the next one. Elders Thorne, Larsen, Pond and Hall arrived early so they could use our computers to check their email and write home. It is luck that we have four of them. The elders arrived first – when there is food they are not going to be late.

Sister Dye and Steglemeier got there in time to eat and to take some pictures. It was sister Steglemeier’s first lunch. Elder Larsen at the computer. Elder Pond joined elder Hall this transfer and this was the first time for him at the lunch.

At transfer I tried to take a lot of pictures of new companionships. Especially those where I knew one of the companions because they served in our district. So it was great to see elder Beard and Plowman become companions as Zone Leaders in the Palm Beach Zone. Elder Hunt was joined by Elder Shipley – who was Elder Beard’s companion – as Zone Leaders in the Hialeah Zone. Elder Benetiz joined Elder Taylor in the North Miami Beach area.

Elder Badillo is elder Beer’s new companion as they serve as Zone Leaders in the Miami Zone. Elder Beer was only with us as zone leader with elder Bishop for 1 transfer but we will miss him. Elder Call joined elder Larsen serving in the Plantation area.

Sister Dougal will be trained by sister Spjut and will serve in the Stuart North area. Sisters Dougal, Spjut, Packard and Quiocho were willing to pose for a picture. Sister Quiocho and sister Packard will serve together in Boynton Beach South area.

Sister Tuai came South to serve with Sister Escobores in Hollywood North. Our great elder Thorne will serve with elder Welch in Wellington North. After the transfer meeting many of the new companionships came into the office to get supplies so I was able to get some more companionship pictures. Elder Doman will be serving with elder Patino in the Fort Lauderdale East area.

After the transfer meeting many of the new companionship come into the office for supplies. This allowed me to take a few more pictures. Elder Stubbs and Elder  Gutierrez will serve in Lauderhill South.

    Thank you for taking such care of and being such great examples for our young missionaries. Elder Thorne speaks glowingly of his admiration of you both and for making him feel so at home as you allowed him to email home on your iPad!
