Yes, we made it safely home. The weather was beautiful, expect for dense fog between Pendleton, Oregon and Kennewick, Washington.

The bowls are reversed. At the beginning of our mission the left one was full. Each Sunday we took one stone out and put it in the right bowl.

We thought this day would never come, but now the left bowl is empty and the right is full - full of wonderful memories. We would not have missed this experience for the world.

My Ohio song has been, "I am foot loose and fancy free. I carry no purse. I carry no key."


I will miss waiting for Elder Millet to park the car in the garage. The view is great six floors above the lobby. He ways gives such a wonderful greeting with hat off and blowing kisses.


We will miss the beautiful view from our apartment. We will not miss the winter weather in Cleveland.

Oh, yes, we will miss it all very much. We have had a wonderful mission. We love the young single adults and all those we have worked with. We are leaving with very mixed emotions.

Our last class in Hiram where attendance was unpredictable. David Schneck and Gina Huschka were our most reliable and "favorite students." David was from Akron and Gina from Cleveland. Their date night began with Institute at Hiram on Tuesdays. We love them.

Last class at Cleveland Stake Center: Randy LeBron, Jeremy Taphus, Tom Sanka, Stephen Born, Stephanie Canonizado, Megan Horner, Shanon Canonizado. We love them. Their favorite treat was Challah Bread.

In Between: Kali Wiegel, Kelsey Potter, Lauren Tyrrell, Rachel Gianetta, Cynthia Tsien, Anna Bowman, Molly Sabolsky. In Between: Emily Butler, Sheryl Robbins, Lauren Roth, Maureen McNeeley. Next: Chris Hurt, Mike Adam, Sister/Elder Millet, John Adams, Elder Hansen. Front: Elder, Robin Bender, Natalie and Raymond Webber. We love them.



We did not get a photo of our noon lunch group who gave us a beautiful cake which we served for dessert. We love them.

Lauren Roth received $50 at our last class. She said, "I'm glad I memorized The Family. The doctrine is perfect and I refer to it again and again."
