On our journey home, I posted the following on Facebook along with many of the same pictures from our last week in Arkansas.
"On Friday in the middle of cleaning our missionary apartment, two different people texted me and asked if we are going to serve another mission. That is not the time to ask....when you are in the middle of all of the good-byes and the "lasts" of leaving somewhere you have loved and been loved. We left a piece of our heart in Arkansas and will be forever grateful for the experiences we have had there, the beautiful things we have seen, and most of all the people we have met and served with.
We had somewhat of a regular last week...Church, district meeting and bowling for Family night with the branch, and Institute on Tuesday and Wednesday...and then a visit to the temple in Bentonville with the branch on Saturday. In-between all of that, we cleaned and packed and cleaned some more. The only difference was that i needed pictures and we had those last moments of saying goodbye...til we meet again.
Thank you to all of the young adults in the Ft. Smith branch, to the leaders we served with, the friends we made in Ft. Smith, and all of the missionaries...young and senior..in the Arkansas Bentonville Mission. We love you all and are so grateful for the honor of serving with you. And truly, may God be with you until we meet again. Never forget that Christ stands ready always and forever to offer His love and mercy to you."
