December 15, 2008 - loading up day

Our car was loaded up in a big hurry, and the apartment was cleaned really well by 9 Elders and 4 Sisters. These are amazing, and sometimes goofy young people. They all just wanted to be there helping us. Thank you so much Elders and Sisters - The Elders are: Thackery, Payne, Martinez, Amaroux, Joslin, Barker, Stout and Juarez. Sisters: Sonderegger, Garlic, Cramer and Swain.
Okay, a little goofing. Elders Thackery and Barker used the wreath from the door as a hat.




Love these guys, Elders: Martinez, Joslin and Barker



It was kind of cold and rainy, and the Elders took turns helping outside. Elder Martinez is putting things in and he was there all of the time.

Monday, Dec. 15, just before we loaded the car to leave Pittsburgh, Malcolm who is an investigator wanted us to meet with him and Sister Swain and Sister Garlic. Malcolm hates to have his picture taken, but he relented because he said we have had a lot of influence on him.

December 14, 2008 - Love these kids

We had many of the ward members tell us goodbye, and express their thanks and love to us. Sean Quigley has been one of our best friends. He told us two weeks before we left that he felt like he was having to send his mom and dad away. I told him that he was going to miss teasing me. Here Paul and Sean are "pulling ties" which Paul did to most of the Young Men.
Aaron Thoming was a young man that we grew to love a lot. We teased him that he will be called to the Idaho Pocatello Mission and serve in the Groveland Ward!

Here we are with Sister Garlick


Oh! Sister Swain and I love to hug each other!
