Goodbye to Senior Couple

On November 7, 2012 we had a 'farewell' dinner for one of our favorite and valuable Senior Couples--Elder and Sister van Komens.  They served so faithfully and humbly in Groningen in the Apledoorn Zone.  Thank you for your love, testimony and Christlike example of service.  We love and miss you.


As a wonderful 'goodbye', all the Senior Couples  met in the Mission Home for a our dinner.  Thanks to everyone for your help and support.

 The Senior Couples love getting together.

We love and miss you.  Thank you so very much for your service in the mission, but most important, thank you for your love of the Gospel, the Savior, and the missionaries, members and investigators whose lives you have touched and changed eternally.
