Rob and Michelle came to visit!

-

 Only 2 weeks of our mission left.  It's feeling a little sad and surreal. Plus our last Transfer Week.  We took the Smoot's with us so they could get a feel of all that we do at Transfers. 

Friday they had a Going Away Party for us at Sister Cannon's place.  President Beecher gave a really sweet thought and prayer, that said thank you for all you've done and good bye.  So sweet I cried through the whole thing.

Saturday, Rob and Shelly came to visit us!!  We were so excited to have them here.  They both arrived within 30 minutes of each other and so after getting them we went to lunch at the Spaghetti Factory and then we went over to the Arch and took a ride to the top.


 











Before heading home we stopped at Ted Drews for some Ice Cream!  Fun, fun day!

Sunday was our last day at church.  Lots of good-byes and a few tears.  We love these people so much and will really miss them.  To our surprise Robert Taylor came to church to say good-bye one more time.  We couldn't believe it.  That was a big suffice for him to get up and dressed and drive to church.  We were so happy our kids got to meet him.


After church we took Madelyn and all went out to lunch at the Wittman Hotel Restaurant in Brussels IL.  It was so fun.  We had to take a ferry across the river to get to the other side. And the food was great.  It felt like we really had a home cooked meal.  Such a great day!

 The week of June 16 - June 22 Transfer week.  We picked up these sweet sisters at the Hotel to take them to the airport to go home.  We were taking 4 of the sisters early and then come back for 3 others later.  They were having breakfast when we got there we let them finish and then I said, "Okay, it's time to go."  They hugged each other over and over again.  Then they did one big group hug and when I walked over to them, they were praying together right there in the hotel breakfast room.  It was the sweetest thing.  A few tears and we were off to the airport. The Dodges came, a senior couple working at the Family History Library and Sister Cannon came, a single senior sister working in the office.   Friday we went back to Hillsboro to finish us the  apartment.  I was not looking forward to cleaning it.  It has felt so dirty and gross when we were there last week, I didn't want to do it.  Right before we left I rem...

The Mission Call

We got notification of our mission call as I was getting on a plane to Utah to visit two of my High School girl friends.  I was so excited!! But ... I really wanted to be with Dan when we opened our letter, so we decided to wait till I got home in 3 days to open it.  It was all planned and the kids were ready to Zoom and watch us open it when my flight got delayed for three hours.  That put me home around 11:00pm.  So we went with play B and set it up for the next morning.  All the kids were on line as we opened our up mission call. WE ARE HEADED TO  THE MISSOURI, ST. LOUIS MISSION!! Stay tuned for great adventures to come!

Week of May 19 - 25 Zone Conference Week. I was called on to share my Hymn testimony at Zone Conference.  A Hymn testimony is a your testimony using only lines from the Hymn's.  It was actually harder to do than I thought it would be.  But here's mine. There is Sunshine in my Soul today for I am a Child of God I know my father lives and loves me too. My heart shall triumph in my Lord I know that my redeemer Lives I stand all amazed at the Love Jesus offers me Once all things He meekly bore I tremble to know that for me He was crucified He has risen Christ has won the victor I'll worship Him with all my might For Jesus is my Light Precious Savior, Dear Redeemer I need thee every hour Constant He is and kind for one brief moment heavens vies  Appears before my gaze My Savior to my aid will come Until at the glorious throng I kneel at His feet Praying daily in our homes God hears my secret prayers We'll feel His Love divine Leading to our home in heaven Where we want to...
