Saying Good-bye

to more sweet missionary friends--Elder Paul and Sister Kathleen Niemann who have been our next door neighbors and served on the first floor of the Church History Library returned home last week.  With Jena being sick we weren't able to play games one last time--so sad.  We loved having them nearby, we loved their cookies that Sister Niemann made, and we will miss them.

They tied these balloons on our door the day before they left.  How sweet is that.  They are from Sacramento California and we hope to see them again sometime.  Thank heavens for email, texting, and Facebook.

This is the hard thing about a mission--people you have grown to love being released and going home.  We have many friends who will be leaving over the next 7 months before we go, including our mission president and his wife.

Good thing we know about the eternities!
