Airport: bittersweet partings

Before heading to the airport, Luggage is weighed and bags get repacked and loaded back into the H-1!

Here we are ready to send Elder Hentunen, Elder Maraetefau and Elder Hughes off tonight. Elder Ndwandwe leaves tomorrow morning for Swaziland.

Elder Hughes was able to say goodbye to a sweet member who actually works at the airport in the car rental division. It is sweet to see the impact and closeness that members have with the missionaries. Below is another family that came to say good-bye to Elder Hughes. He and his companion, elder Sylvester contacted them and taught them and they were baptized when he first came on mission. Last year this family went to the temple and Elder Hughes was able to participate with them. It was very touching to see the love they had for him.

Good-bye time! We love you all and will keep in touch.

Sad partings!
