We took our twenty six July departing missionaries to the Portland temple today.  It was a wonderful session and afterward president Russell treated us all to lunch, then we took some pictures.

We only have three Sisters going home: Sister Mills, Sister Jones, and Sister Hepworth.

 President Russell gathered the missionaries all together to express our love to them, inasmuch as we will not be holding the traditional testimony meeting. More tears were shed.

We took some individual pictures as well with
