A lot has happened in the past 3 months.
We will try to make this brief and interesting.
First big thing that happened in October was our Kenya Nairobi Mission Reunion. It was great to see a lot of the friends we made while serving there. Not many young missionaries came but a lot of the “old”. We met at Pres. Broadbent’s home for an afternoon of visiting and good food.
Watching the video Rich made.
Then that evening we met at a church in Farmington for the full reunion.
Elder Sitati of the 70 was there and spoke to us. Afterwards he was greeting each of the couples and asking if they were going to serve another mission. We told him we had already submitted our papers. He got really excited and asked if we wanted to go back to Africa. What could we say to him? Sandra really did not want to but didn’t have the courage to tell him that. He wanted our phone number and said he would call in the morning and make sure we would go back to Africa. We were hoping and praying that our call was already in the mail and NOT to Africa. I think Rich would have been okay with Africa. Especially if it were in the Accra Ghana Temple.
About the 10th of Oct. we received our call to the Washington D.C. Temple.
Sandra was really excited and glad that we were not going back to Africa.
The next big event was the Dinner Club Cruise the end of October - first part of November. We went on the Panama Canal Cruise from L.A. around to Miami. 14 days. It was GREAT!!
We ended up after everyone invited friends and relatives with 16 people going.
We were able to get tickets to the Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert.
Sandra played with the Bell Choir in a Christmas Program held in a Stake Center in Rexburg.
Our annual New Year's Eve Party with the Dinner Club.
Not many of us around this time of year anymore.
All in all, a great year.
