Saying Goodbye to President and Sister Foote

***It is official! I received Sam's flight plans this morning.  

He will be home on Thursday July 19 at 10:14 am.  

His homecoming will be Sunday July 29 at 9 am 

with food at our house after!  

Hello,

Great week with President Foote! We had our last zone conference with the Footes. It was really sad saying goodbye to them. They have been the greatest thing about this mission.

On Thursday they arrived in Fort D. Friday morning President showed up at our house to drop off my package from my mom. He thought he would meet with us, study together a little bit, and have some interviews... Then we told him that we usually played soccer on the beach on Fridays. He hurried home to change into some shorts and then we met the other missionaries at the beach.

Saturday we had the conference and learned a lot. Seeing as how it was the last Conference with him and for most of us here in Fort D. we talked with him all day long getting deep doctrinal questions answered and advice for life. President Foote has definetly taught me a lot about what kind of person I want to be; for myself and for others around me.

This morning at 3:00 a.m. we woke up and hiked Peak St. Louie to see the sun rise on the horizon. It was freezing cold at the top of the mountain and I was the only one that had brought a blanket so we all cuddled and shared it.

Next week.
Sincerely,
Elder Allen

We've Got A Lot Planned

Hello,
Nothing too eventful from this past week except we had an amazing zone conference with Pres. Foote.

There were also a couple of days when I had a bad migraine. That made going out to work very hard. I stayed in on Sunday because I just couldn't work and use my brain any more, let alone open my eyes with out it hurting. I am feeling a lot better now though. My eyes still kind of feel sensitive and sore but my headache is gone.  So back to work.

This next coming week should be great. We get to Skype home this next weekend. Probably Saturday early morning. We will also have some of our investigators getting married and baptized this Saturday!!  And It is my birthday next Sunday as well. We've got a lot of things planned. It should be a pretty good time.

Sincerely,
Elder Allen

A Thank You from President Foote

November 2, 2017

Dear Parents,

We have witnessed many miracles in the past few weeks during the transfer of our missionaries to their new assignments.  We have to admit our heartstrings were being stretched as we bid farewell to these tremendous missionaries.  They will certainly be a blessing where ever they go.

We were directed to have the missionaries out of Madagascar in just four short days. This made it difficult for them as they were asked to follow specific instructions, such as not calling investigators or members to tell them they were leaving. We are grateful for their obedience and it helped to ensure their safe transfer.  We felt of your support and prayers as we moved forward with the departures.

We look forward to the day we will be back in Madagascar.  Please keep the wonderful people of Madagascar in your prayers as well as these devoted missionaries.  This will be an adjustment for them as they work to build and grow the gospel in other parts of the vineyard.

Thank you for sharing your sons and daughters with us. They have changed our lives.

May God bless your family and this marvelous missionary effort.
