With Aroa from Sister Roos' Family

On behalf of Sister Roos: We have been truly touched by the outpouring of love from family and friends over the last month as Sister Mariana Kärlek Turepu-Roos has been preparing for her mission. Thank you so, so much for all the time you have set aside to spend with our sweet daughter and for creating memories with her that she can take on her mission and remember fondly. 

There is no doubt in my mind that she has a special place in her heart for each and every one of you that she has come into contact with and I know she loves you all very dearly. Her heart will swell even more now with the love she already has for the "Best Friends" that the Lord has prepared for her to find in the Sydney South Mission. 

She now serves the Lord and for that we are grateful, excited and although we will miss her dearly, we know she is "A Missionary: someone who leaves their family for a short time so that others may be with their families for ETERNITY"(anon). We love you all so very much, The Roos'  #ShesNowSisterRoos #SydneySouthMission #FindingHerOtherBestFriends #CantReadThisWithoutCrying #ItsAllAboutBecoming #Potential #keepingupwithHale119
