2018 Sept 17 Farewell and Welcome



On Monday, 17 September, Elder Blackburn, Elder and Sister Wagner, and Elder and Sister Jensen came into the mission home for their departing hour interview with President Leavitt. We had dinner and a departing meeting before bed. We had a few extra missionaries staying at the mission home who also participated. We appreciate all the wonderful and devoted service our missionaries and missionary couples have given to help build the South Africa Johannesburg Mission! We pray for God's blessings to continue to be with them.
