MTC Depature - Mission Home Arrival

We received this bitter sweet note from Sister Reber at the MTC today:

"The Elders all left today for the Mission Field. The MTC is empty. There is no laughter in the halls.
I miss them already!  I wish I could go into the field with them and document their missions.
Last night we had a very tender, tearful Testimony meeting.  They have really bonded as brothers and
it has been a joy to watch this happen."

So...Our Elder is off to serve the people of South Africa!
