When we arrived on our mission almost a year ago, we went to our first activity with the young adults. It was sort of awkward– we didn’t know any of them, and there were only about half a dozen (we’d expected many dozens). But we made small talk and got to know them a little.
Fast forward to today, when we have a slightly bigger group and we know them all really well. One of the young adults, Ben, has been preparing for months to serve a mission. That day has finally come, and we threw him a little surprise party.
He’s been one of the leaders of the group for a few years, so when he leaves he’ll definitely be missed. Back in July we “sent off” one of the other young adults for a mission, and it’s exciting to see another one head out.
Godspeed, Elder Yearsley!
