Just another airport run

Every 6 weeks we have a zone conference where about 10-12 missionaries from nearby islands fly to our island for a zone conference. We are the airport shuttle pick up crew. It is a fun day to see these young elders come ready to be inspired, participate in a community service project, eat a nice lunch prepared by sister Hymas and friends to feed about 25, and rub shoulders with their fellow missionaries. It really is a happy time for all of us. Then about every few weeks or months, the elders transfer to other places. This is two of the elders we got to pick up and spend the day with. They are on the serving at the southern end of the island so we do get to see them a few times a month. The beach in the pictures below this one are taken from behind us. Yes, the beach is right across the little street from the airport. The church and living quarters of our elders is on the other side of the airport runway. It makes all these trips to the airport convenient. We are sort of the back up parents to these great young men. We try to support them, but in reality, they are a great blessing in our lives. They have much to teach us old folks.
