Joseph and Hyrun as they began their last ride to Carthage. The statue faces the temple with a view of the Mississippi River in the background.

The beautiful Nauvoo Temple. We attended a session and loved the antiqueness of the atmosphere. We met Leo and Pam Liddle from Bellingham who are serving as temple missionaries. What a wonderful place to serve.

What a surprise to see Elder and Sister Parent at the MTC ready to serve another mission in Guatemala. We loved serving with them at Temple Square.

Roger snapped a mission picture before we were set apart by President Hammond. We enjoyed ice cream at DK's to celebrate.

We were hoping for ripe tomatoes before we left for our mission in Ohio. They were delicious.

Bart and Dodi visited and we enjoyed dinner at Don's and had fun talking about old times.

Jared Parker and Ernie Pratt and their families visited on July 4. Here Roger and Jared are "chewing" the prime rib bones. The meal was great and the company superb.
