Elder and Sister Pinette

Elder and Sister Pinette have been the grounds missionaries over the Visitor's Center, mission home and Widow's row areas since we got here in June.  As missionaries we are asked to work for six hours each day.  The Pinettes are such hard workers!  Each day going home about 1pm, they would still be hard at work.  I think they decided what needed to be done and worked until it was finished.
They were scheduled to leave the first week of March, but his mother who lives in Florida, needed some help as she had taken a pretty bad fall.  Elder Pinette's brother visited their mother over Christmas and said that he either needed to come or she needed to go into a facility. 
They had to leave earlier than planned.  They will be missed and difficult to replace. 
We asked them to take over the refreshments at the Christmas Walk.  She said she had never done anything like that before so this was a real test for them.  Still, they were such great sports and did it anyway.  We came to love them dearly.
