We had more departures over the past few weeks. Starting with the Craners. They began their mission as site missionaries but have been FM over the grounds in Carthage since May.
We did Nauvoo on the Road with them and fell in love with them. They're such genuine, kind, fun people. We will miss his laugh!
Elder Bundy was a church service missionary. He was a hard worker. He worked mostly with the Pinettes at the Nauvoo Visitor's Center. He's a quiet guy but has plenty to say when the mood strikes him.
Elder Dallon from Washington state greeted us at the door each morning. What a upbeat happy guy. Not much of a worker, but such a positive influence.
His parents came to get him. They were so appreciative of the time he was able to spend out on a mission. The Church Service Missionary system is now changed so that only local people can serve in this capacity. No more will individuals come from outside areas.
Ted & Mary Grigsby were the hardest ones for me so far. She and I connected in a way that I get now and then. She is someone who will forever be a part of me. I'm not sure why we connected is such a way. I'm just thankful that we did. They are back home in Oklahoma where it is very hot! He was an electrician and she worked grounds.
