Some Family Fun, then back to work!












We had fun visits with Jeff and Janelle and then
 Brandon, Katie, Kaden and Ellie in July!  








We threw a. lot. of. wood from the driveway up to the yard then Brandon and Kaden helped stack it under the porch



Kaden's favorite place to visit is Top Golf



Ellie's favorite person is her mommy



 Bruster's Ice Cream is another of our favorites











Back to Business! 
MLC, District Council's and Interviews, Zone Conferences, New Missionaries and Departing Missionaries all in six weeks.



Only 9 out of our 22 districts





 






 Many new bicycles were put together! 

















  A game of PIG has been going on almost every transfer with these two, President Bednar and Elder Stevens.  
This was the final game, I won't say who won! 




Zone Conference in Northumberland with the Harrisburg and Williamsport zones.



























My favorite street in Pennsylvania, downtown Lewisburg!








Bucknell University in Lewisburg




Zone Conference in Brookville with the 
Jamestown and Altoona zones










Zone Conference in Pittsburgh with Pitt West, Pitt North and Pittsburgh Zones











When missionaries finish their service, we welcome new missionaries, and we love and adore them all!   20 missionaries returned home and we received fourteen, three are Visa waiters
























Elder Peterson, our new assistant with Elder Hale and Elder Stratford who is going home
 





Transfer Day!

Two of our senior couples finished their eighteen month mission as MLS couples.  We are truly grateful for them and will miss them!
Sister and Elder Benson served in the Brookville Ward 
and Philipsburg Branch.



Elder and Sister Robbins served in creating the Waynesburg group

We love you all!




Farewell to all! 
These elders are the first group we picked up at the airport in August of 2017.  Elder and Sister Lynch have been serving in the office and will finish their mission as church service missionaries!




The Last night is spent in the mission home





Our departing missionaries left at three different times from the airport, including three other countries to travel home to.
