The big three

Here we have yet another group of missionaries going home, this group is notable because they are the last elders to precede us in departure.

Three what? Three elders, perhaps? Three-year old boy? Yes, both true. But we're talking about years. We now embark on our last year in Georgia. More of an academic year, to be precise. But by the time we leave, if you adjust for summers in America, we will have spent exactly 36 months in Georgia = 3 years.
