Elder Graff and I were granted the privilege of taking the "finishers" to the Orlando Temple prior to them leaving the mission the next day. We left at 6:00 am from the Plantation Chapel and make the 10:00 am session that they held for us. After the session, they had a talk from the Temple President and then we drove to Firehouse and fed them. We got them back to the chapel by 6:00 PM and then we had dinner at President and Sister Hale's home. This time we were the escorts, so we didn't have to prepare or wash the dishes. By the time we got to bed we had put in another 15 hour day. I don't know how many of these days I can keep doing. They make this old lady's back hurt. But it was a great day and we were glad to have the opportunity to be with the missionaries one last time. The Firehouse, seems to be a tradition with the finishers. On the ride back we noticed that the everglades were on fire again. That seems to be a regular occurrence. Once a fire gets going, there is no way to stop it. Thankfully it rains enough to keep most of the fires under control.
