Two "Favorites" Complete Mission

These two sister missionaries have been outstanding in every way.  Great teachers, great companions, great leaders, spiritually strong and faithful in every way.  They finished their missions today and are returning home.

Bridget Smith is from Cedar Hills, Utah and will be continuing her education at BYU in Provo.  She is a direct descendant of Hyrum Smith (although she kept this quiet during her mission).  She served as one of the Sister Trainers.  [Grandsons please take note: I have her Facebook info and e-mail address and know she would be receptive to getting acquainted.]

Kristy Aguda is from the Philippines and is returning home with plans to attend a local college for a year and then return to either BYU Hawaii or BYU Provo.  Her family live in a rural part of the country and her father continues to farm by hand without the aid of a tractor or Carabao.  She has the smile and personality to melt the most obstinate guest.  She was full of questions and we loved our daily visits as she leaned over the VC counter soaking up everything Donna shared.  [If she shows up in Utah, she too, will be at the top of my grandson referral list.]
