Bangerters Host Farewell Luncheon
Around the table clockwise are President Cory & Sister Gayle Bangerter, Sister & Elder de Paula, Elder & Sister Smith and Sister & Elder West. There has been a bi-monthly Institute Training meeting with other senior couple our mission here in New York. We have received instruction, shared teaching ideas, discussed scriptures, and refined teaching.
Today was a less a day for those kinds of things and more for a social and a farewell. But the end of June, all three missionary couple will be through with their missions and going home.

Taunting aromas from the kitchen wafted through the hallways and into our meeting room as we put the final touches on the spring semester. It was pretty hard to discuss summer classes and the Wednesday evening forum when pulled pork, beans with cheese and salsa was waiting just around the corner.
On the table where we sat to eat were adorable ceramic "Big Apple" napkin holders for each couple along with a kind note from the Bangerters. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and your very tasty food! We'll miss you...but will see you, Bangerters, in Utah. The Bangerters have been employed by the Church Education System for 36 years and have lived, taught and supervised all over the world. They will return to Alpine to retire in just over a year.

So are all of these couples leaving at once? Will a new group of CES missionaries arrive in time for fall classes?
How wonderful it is that you get to enjoy so many "farewell" events.
That's fun you got together one last tme. Did you make the pork burritos? (They looked yummy!)
