There and Back again:week 79: Going, going, Gone

 

Wow, it really happened. We finished well and packed well. Our friends came and helped us clean. We drove away Saturday morning. Elder Cullen did not know I was taking this picture of him staring at the jail. Staring and staring....We are going to miss being on a mission.  We wrote this song for our friends.It all seems like a Dream

We had our last dinner with friends, after two weeks of breakfasts, lunches, and dinners with people who wanted one last time together. 

So many cards, small gifts, and expressions of love. We had our surry ride with Sawatskis because they are leaving too. It's so bitter sweet. So fun to go home so sad to leave people you have labored beside

You love the people you serve! We all served each other. 

The song we wrote really said what we felt. This has been a lovely experience.

The NEW temple visitors center will be dedicated June 27 in Nauvoo, we're sorry to miss that and all the fun of Pageant Season. You MUST go visit Nauvoo and Carthage. We highly recommend it.

So we're spending Mother's Day with our sons, Ben (Courtnie) and Ephraim  in Kansas City and will hang out here for a week.

Then two family reunions in Utah and time with Autumn (Aaron) and Spring (Calen). We'll be in California around June 10ish.

On to the next great Adventure!!
