Goodbye Corrientes - Luke's first transfer and one last baptism

-

 Luke had a great birthday celebration and goodbye party all at the same time.  He had some tearful goodbyes with all the amazing people he served around.  I'm so thankful that he had such a great experience in his first area.  And what a way to end his time there....he had a baptism on Saturday before he left!  I'm so excited for him!  

Now on to Santa Fe!!!
