Sad Day at the Mills Mission Home, Transfers Happened
Elder Holley is going to Wakarusa(Topeka Zone) Elder Parente is going to Junction City, (Salina Zone)Tears. Elder Holley has been with us for 6 months. We want him to be able to move on to greener pastures all though he has been like our own. So mixed feelings. We Love him to pieces! Elder Parente has been the best thing for Elder Holley. They have been an AWESOME companionship. Elder Parente has been the one to encourage their team to work hard every day. Elder Parente has been the best thing that has happened to this area. He is about meeting and serving everyone in this town. Much love for him too.
We will miss walking in the room and seeing them kneeling to pray. We will miss the piano going non-stop. We will miss the music of the violin. We will miss both of their cheerfulness. We will miss them studying the bible every morning. We will miss their strict obedience to the mission rules. We will miss their service to us. We will miss the spirit that is in our home with them around. And the blessings of the oppurtunity to have missionaries in our home has been a chance of a lifetime. They are closing our area for missionaries. Sad day, Sad day...
To all of those missionaries that have stayed in our home. GOD BLESS YOU and REMEMBER
"--- WHEN YE ARE IN THE SERVICE OF YOUR FELLOW BEING YOU ARE ONLY IN THE SERVICE OF YOUR GOD. " Well Done Elders and The Albaughs! Mosiah 2:17 (Book of Mormon)

Hi Sharon, What a great pic . . It sounds like you really enjoyed these guys . . nice memories for your family, definitely! What a difference these boys will make in the world. God Bless, Sandy
How sad... that the area is getting closed. I'm sure all the missionaires that lived with you are greatful for YOU! I'm sure you gave each of them a little feeling of being home with their fam's while living with you.
This brought me to tears!
