FAREWELL TO THE MISSION


FINALIZERS COMING TOGETHER

There were fifteen missionaries in our group who reported to the Mission Office the day before we left. We each had to be processed and have our final interview with President Pimentel.


For us, the hardest part of this "processing" was weighing our bags, re-distributing our "stuff" and deciding what to leave behind.





A Mission Tradition
.

Just as we began our mission by visiting a place where the Berlin Wall had been, we were again taken there and each of us walked to a secluded spot and re-dedicated our lives to serving the Lord with all our hearts as we returned home.


Elder Felsing read excerpts from the prayer President Uchtdorf' gave when he was here and dedicated Germany for missionary work

GOING OUT TO EAT


There were two new mission vans that took us where we needed to go



This was a favorite Italian Restaurant of the Pimentels where we had our "last supper" in Germany

We were then taken to the Pimentel's home where we lined up for pictures.....
