New and Departing missionaries - Mother's Day

We have had a busy week with new missionaries arriving and seasoned missionaries departing.

Brother Calabrese has volunteered his time in the mission office for many, many years and is a tremendous help to us with all things involving the Italian legal system and in dealing with over 20 landlords. At the departing dinner he sincerely thanks the missionaries for their service and tells them that his country is a better place because of them.

Saying good-bye to Elder Helding
