The Home Stretch

As we are looking down the home stretch of our mission we have been so greatful for all the fun we have had, both with young missionaries and with the other senior couples. The Lewises returned home May 23 and the Joneses and Hardings have come to the office in prepration for taking it all over.

This is in the park directly across the street. Elder and Sister Harding have just arrived from Utah and we are enjoying a Mother's Day lunch.

 The "Colorado Crew"

Elder & Sister Jones are from Longmont, CO and will be taking our place when we leave in July. They will be AWESOME

We took the gang to show them the town of White Rock. A cute seaside town not far from us. Also, notice it's a "Shadow Day" (the sun is shining)

The mighty senior elders holding up "white rock" Hard to tell, but it's not all that large. The bulk of the rock can be seen in the picture.

Not a shadow day...in fact it's pouring rain. This is picking up Nanette and Jeff from the skytrain so they could visit us for a night. They decided to get off their Disney cruise a night early just so they could see us.

The returning elders crammed into a van for a temple trip

Reminders of home...these are the first missionaries since we have been here that have come from Colorado. Now there is us, the Jones' and these wonderful elders. Both Elder Lindemann and Anderson are from Castle Rock. Elder Anderson is a little concerned that he'll miss the sun!

Singing Happy Birthday to Sister Lewis and Elder Jones, they were born the same day in the same year.

President Traxler?!? President Tilleman forgot his nametag and had to borrow Paul's. Hope nobody looked too close.
