When we think of high points in our mission it always
includes those special visits from family and friends back home. Just a short time before Jeri’s family
came out to visit, their oldest son Hayden received his mission call to
Neuquen, Argentina. Our oldest
grandchild! It was so wonderful
having them with us as we toured the church history sites and wandered through
the sacred grove. Hayden left for
the MTC just shortly after their visit.
We were able to get a photo of our handsome missionary standing next to
the “apostle tree” and see him once more before he left. Such a good time—Jeri, Dan, Hayden,
Jack and Libby—all here in New York with Grandpa and Grandma! They even timed it so they were able to
see the Hill Cumorah Pageant with us.
It meant so much!
While at the Kirtland Temple site we met a young family
dressed like Joseph Smith, Emma and their children. The mother is writing a children’s book and the family was
visiting church history sites to take photos for illustrating the book. She took our name and email
address. Who knows, maybe
down the road we will be able to purchase a copy of her book.
