Eighteen of our former missionary returned here to Guadalajara to visit with President Clayton and to say goodbye to us!
We gathered in the Union building and sat in a big circle, and for a good long time, we went around and listened as everyone told of what they have been doing since they returned home from their missions.
We were so inspired and full of love as we listened to their faithful aspirations, their goals, their accomplishments thus far in their schooling, in their work efforts and in their lives.
All were fully active in the church, and engaged in significant church responsibilities, several were serving in the Temple, most attending institute.
Several of our former missionaries have married, and brought their spouses to meet us, all continue to have solid and focus desires of marrying faithfully in the Temple, as they move forward, dating worthy young men and women.
What a priceless afternoon this was!
Oh. My. Goodness. What a memory....what a treasured experience!
Here are some pictures from our afternoon together.
We gathered.... of course.... on the steps of the Guadalajara Temple for a picture... :)
