One Set of Missionaries Down...

Yesterday was transfer day. We're getting in the rhythm of missionary life. This is Sister Norton (from Show Low, AZ) and Sister Howell (from Gilbert, AZ). Sister Norton is going home, and we assumed Sis. Howell would stay here (she has one month left), but she was also transferred, to a Spanish branch (she is actually Hermana Howell).
We were all sad to see them go.
They had been very kind and integrated well into our home.
They kept all the mission rules.
At 9 AM sharp--the beginning of companion study time--the sounds of a hymn sung in harmony would come floating up the stairs. (They had nice voices, too).
Alice particularly is missing them.
For her, it was like having a couple of older sisters in the bedroom across from hers.
The rest of us appreciated all the desserts that ward members showered them with, and which the missionaries freely shared with us. Ymmm!
Now we have a new set of sisters, and we can't wait to get acquainted!
