It was fun to have these two couples over to spend the day. They have been so nice to us, having us to dinner every month since we got here and also special dinners and teas when our family came to visit.
We packaged up our candy after giving the two couples all that they could use and put a card with our pictures and address on it so that our friends will know how to keep in contact. We gave these to people in the ward that have been extra nice to us. It was fun to have something to give back.
It looks like we are not going to speak in church because next week is Fast Sunday and then we leave. Of course we will bear our testimony. We can't believe it is time to come home. The time has gone by so quickly. In some ways it seems like we have only been here a few months and in others we feel like we have been here for many years. It is hard saying goodbye to these wonderful people who have taken a big part in so many memorable experiences for us.
So the winding down has come. We are training another wonderful couple who have extended their mission 6 more months for a total of 2yrs and 6 months. They did this because President Olauson asked them to. As of now, there are no senior missionaries called to replace the 4 that are going or have gone home since December.

I loved the pictures. It looks like all the men have beards like dad likes to wear. I can't wait for him to grow it out again.
wow, I haven't checked for a while and you have added a lot. I am glad to see your friends again and have their names written down. It looks like you had a great time and took good care of them. I can't wait to have you home again.
