New Zealand - Post by Lucinda

 

Mom & Dad are in Auckland, New Zealand for a few days training!  They leave for Apia, Samoa Wednesday evening!  They meet up with Lyle's Aunt Debbie Perron and her husband Bill Perron who are serving there. 

 

They sound good, ready to get settled in Apia, Samoa and get to work my Dad says they have a big task ahead of them.  We are so grateful for them to have this opportunity to serve,
but we miss them!!!

My Mom texted us this picture as they left their room at the MTC with these words,

"Wahoo.  Let it begin."

 

Lance took this picture as he said goodbye at the Salt Lake City Airport.

 

FAREWELL!

  Always doing construction at the MTC.  The Provo Temple is in the back ground.  It is fun to watch the Missionary load the busses when they are leaving for their mission.

Our District at the MTC

Elder and Sister John Johnson, Elder and Sister Juncker, Sister Bear, Elder and Sister Gillette,  Sister Clark and Sister Lowery.  Great couple  Missionaries.  Got to know them very good.  They are going to all part of the world.  Preach my Gospel is a amazing way to teach the Gospel.  Three more days of training and them we fly out for New Zealand for three days of training and then to our mission in Somoa.

Saying Goodbye - Post By Lucinda Rogers

Saying Good-Bye is never fun, especially when you have 12 Grandchildren that all live very near! Notice all the puffy eyes...

 

Saturday, May 9th - Family Dinner at El Toro in Gooding!

 



 

President Gines Set Them Apart as Elder & Sister Gillette.  Rusty & Cindy bore their testimonies.
I am pretty sure that we cured the drought that evening!!!

 

This sign appeared on the fridge at their home in Gooding today... 

 I prefer to count by months not days!

 

Sunday, May 10th - Leaving Home ...
