The Goodbyes and the Hellos

Another great group leaves us.

The airport can be a challenge with a number of different airlines and some baggage problems.  Some of the missionaries have only been on a plane when they come on the mission and aren't very familiar with what is needed to be done.  Some are a little nervous and distracted too.  Of course I love helping and it helps keep me from getting too emotional! 

We wave goodbye, almost always cry, then race over to meet the new group....who this time happened to be a very large one.

Here they are waiting for the assistants to come with our van and trailer to pick them up.
