14 Missionaries go home

A mix of USA and elders from Finland spend some last moments together at the Mission Office before departing for home.

Äldste Scott Spjut and Äldste Johnson have kept the computers and phones humming at the Mission Office. With Elder Spjut out in the Mission, we will try to keep everything running smoothly the best we can.

On Friday the 13th of March, we had major changes in the Mission. Elder Spjut left for Jonköping and a new young elder assistant came in (Alpeter). A record number (6) of Finnish missionaries departed on the Silja Linje for Helsinki. We will miss their leadership and Syster Huttunen's forging spirit. There were 8 on the plane to the USA. It was a tearful parting for this special group. The replacements for this group won't arrive until May.
