A Very Special Missionary Day!


On July 9 and 10, these wonderful missionaries are scheduled to complete their mission service in the Chile, Santiago East Mission. President and Sister Laycock wanted to have a special day with them to celebrate their successful missions. We went to the Temple together. Then we had a wonderful meal of mashed potatoes, gravy, avacado salad, turkey, and flaun for dessert. It was wonderful in every way. We talked about what the Lord expects from these faithful men and women after they return home.


After lunch, we took a little tour to see the important land marks of Santiago. We ended at Los Dominicos, the church that is pictured on the 2 mil peso bill. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with these missionaries. Not just on this special day, but on every day in which they served with us in the Chile, Santiago Mission. We will always have a special place in our hearts for these fine young servants of our Heavenly Father. They really are remarkable in every way. We love them all so much.

This post brings tears to my eyes and joy to my soul. What a powerful group of missionaries. How wonderful for all of you to have been able to serve the entire time together. I can only imagine the bitter sweet feelings you all must be having as you prepare to return home. I can speak for those of us at home who have enjoyed and benefited from the blessings of having missionaries from our family serve, in saying that we cannot wait to hold you in our arms and welcome you home. We love you and are so grateful for the service you've given!
