It never ceases to amaze me how much the missionaries are loved by the people here in DC South. Their converts, investigators, members, and friends come to say farewell to them before they depart for home.
We have a inspirational fireside where each of the departing missionaries share their testimonies with those who have come to see them off. It is beautiful and inspiring as they express their love for the gospel, their love for the Savior and their desire for these recent converts and investigators to remain true to the gospel they have found.
After the meeting I try to get pictures of all of them, but it is packed and often very difficult to find all of them among the crowd. Here are some of the pictures I took.
