A week of "LASTS"
All good things come to an end and so it is.......
we are at the week of LASTS
Sunday we took our LAST Church History Tour.
We walked the streets of Preston -- for the LAST time
We stood by the River Ribble -- for the LAST time
We said good-by to 15 Wadham Road -- for the LAST time
We wandered through the historic village of Downham -- for the LAST time
We knocked on the door of Lord and Lady Clithroe and had a wonderful visit with them -- for the LAST time
And we stood on the banks of the Chapburn Baptismal Site and bore testimony -- for the LAST time.
We officiated in the missionary session of the temple -- for the LAST time
We went to the Chorley Market -- for the LAST time
We are going on the train to Manchester and do street contacting -- for the LAST time.
We slept in our apt. -- for the LAST time and we have now moved across the hall so they can refurbish our place and ready it for the new president.
We have been to dinner with our new non member friends -- for the LAST time
We have welcomed a group of new missionaries -- for the LAST time
We will hear the missionaries sing their National Anthems -- for the LAST time.
We had Elder Kerr come and speak at a Devotional -- for the LAST time (and his last time as he is being released.)
We have yet to do our LAST teaching, our LAST departure testimony meeting, eat our LAST meal in the cafeteria, drive on the left hand side of the road for the LAST time, and say our final Good-byes.
LAST always comes and it is always tender!

I have enjoyed your blog the last 2 years. Please let Pat and I know when you return and give your report, we would love to hear it.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you had a wonderful mission and "Lasts" always opens the door to "Beginnings."
Thank you for letting us join you on this wonderful mission via your blog these past two years.
ReplyDelete"Lasts" are tender, but homecomings are sweet, and with you two there is much ahead to
enjoy.
Perhaps a new chapter of blogging? Keep in touch - we love you and welcome you home with open arms that stretch from Arizona to where ever you are until we can be together in person once again.
XOXOXO
Helen and Stuart
