Saying Goodbye

 Our first stop was to visit our family in Nebraska since they start back at school in mid-August 
and couldn't attend our farewell.  We took some family names to the Ft. Collins, CO temple 
and performed baptisms with the family.  
What a beautiful experience with Brayden, Alison, Matt, Drew and Ella.

 A big hug for my sweetheart

 This photo is on our front page, but this version showing more of the wheat field is cool.  
Our efforts in a different harvest is about to begin.

Steve and Ellen Kallberg, old and dear friends from North Bend, WA came over for a few days and helped us get started packing and organizing. They were such a huge help. 
We enjoyed a session at the Spokane Temple where Joanne and I had just finished
serving as ordinance workers every Wednesday for two and a half years. 

Tony and Linda Yanez also stopped by in their travels from Medford, Oregon to say hello and goodbye.  
It was wonderful catching up with these good friends who we miss a lot.  
We used to home teach them in Snoqualmie.
