We finish the day with a dinner and devotional for the departing missionaries. There were 7 going home. Again, in missionary lingo, these are our 'first born' that we are sending home. It was an emotional experience to say good-bye to these great missionaries. We are amazed with their growth in two years. Their testimonies were profound and strong. We are so proud of these fine men. They have all they need to go on to their next assignment. They are dedicated disciples of Christ.

| It's always an emotional experience singing our third verse to "Called to Serve" on last time. |
 |
| Aren't they an amazing looking group of men? They glow with the spirit. Their eyes shine with testimony. They have sacrificed for and loved those they have served. It thrills me just to look at them. You must be proud of your missionaries! I know I am. |
