One of the hardest things about having a Sister Missionary come work with us in the Arizona Phoenix Mission from the Temple Square Mission in Salt Lake City is...
They have to go home!
Sweet Sister Barnett has been with us since December and we consider her "ours" as well!
She has been in a "tripanionship" with Sisters Garcia and Robinson so that when she goes back to the COLD of Salt Lake, she will leave a companionship ready and working in the area she has been in.
We just had to take this shot by our beautiful flowering orange tree. It is covered with blossoms and smells so good! This tree did not have a single blossom or orange this past season...so we had them come give it some TLC and now look at it! Can't wait for next spring! OK, really, we CAN wait for next spring. Time goes way too fast on a mission in the first place!
We got some photos of Sister Barnett picking some of the lingering grapefruit.
We had a traditional Cafe Rio knockoff dinner to celebrate the service of Sister Barnett.
And we finished the night with ice cream sundaes!
The next morning we were all off to the airport to see Sister Barnett off on her way back to Salt Lake. She will serve there until May when she completes her mission. We look forward to seeing her again someday! She is part of the APM forever!
And away she goes through security...we wait and watch so she knows she is not alone until she is through and on her way to the gate.
Thanks to Sister Barnett for her loving service here. We know she was here to bless our lives with her testimony of the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. She is strong and pure. I hope to be like her a bit more each day!
