January 2014

We spent most of the time packing and unpacking trying to get everything in that we thought would fit in the car. And going to the dentist and doctor to get everything in order for entry into the mission training on Feb. 8th.

But we did get away after the temple closed.

We spent a couple of days in SLC getting Rich’s white suits and stuff for the temple.

Then we spent several days with Myra & Deon in Gilbert. Myra is Sandra's sister. They have been call to serve a mission in Leeds England.

We attended the open house for the new Gilbert Temple while we were there.

We were also able to visit with the Worthens from our mission in Africa.

Then we spent one day with Brent & Lorraine. Sorry, no photos. Just a good visit.

Then off to spend a few days with Jacki in Reno and see our new GREAT Grand Daughter. Can you believe that? We have a daughter that will be called grandma???? That’s pretty scary.

We spent one day up in Virginia City.

Then we went back to SLC for Lee & Nancy’s farewell. Lee is Sandra’s brother. They have been called to serve a mission in the Central America Area as Church Auditors.

We had planned to go back down to Arizona for another week but my aunt Helen passed away suddenly so we decided to head for home.

Good thing we did. Packing turned out to be a lot more work than we thought it would be.

The next blog will be our training in the Bountiful Temple for our mission. We are looking forward to that.
