Departing Elders


February 24th, six Elders came in to have a final devotional, testimony and Dinner  Three of them were able to greet their families here.  Elder Elder greets his family, as does Elder Cope and Elder Ballard greets his Mother.

Following our tradition, if you return with honor, you get to walk to Red Carpet.  L to R: Elders Ballard, Elder, Conway and Christian.

Posted by PicasaElders Baird and Cope walk the Red Carpet. All six of these elders have been hard working and diligent missionaries.  They have served well and they all held leadership positions when they left. We will miss them.  Elders Christian, Baird and Conway were all able to travel together for part of the journey until they all went to their destination cities. And they are off and up the escalator!  Love these Elders.

  1. Hi Sister Smedley! I have LOVED following your blog while our son, Elder Baird served his mission in Cambodia!
    I just wanted to let you know that you gave me credit for being there to pick up our son in a photograph... it is actually Elder Ballard and his mother.
    Thank you for all you do, especially making the other side of the world feel a little closer these past two years!
    With Love,
    Sister Suzanne Baird

    1. Thanks, I will make the correction. Sometimes it doesn't pay to do anything too late, then you make mistakes.
