Early Saturday morning we got a surprise.... Uncle Todd, Uncle Kevin, and cousins, Nick, Zach and Noah had driven 13 hours ALL THE WAY FROM ARIZONA!!!
...Just so they could be here for the Open House and Farewell and to give last hugs and goodbyes! This was especially meaningful because Brendon and Connor's closest cousin, Nick will depart on his mission about 6 months before they return home. It will be a long time til they meet again!
We spent most of Saturday preparing for the Open House and were happy that so many kind friends came to wish the Elders good luck and Goodbye.
Sunday was a special day. Brendon and Connor spoke in church and their sister sang a beautiful solo arrangement of "I Know that My Redeemer Lives" accompanied by piano and cello. It was a very heartfelt piece of music and touched everyone in attendance.
Then later Sunday, after the boys from AZ departed, we had a big family dinner with all of our family that live here close by. It was a very special day!
