We spent a wonderful year in the Family and Church History, Church Headquarters Mission and have now returned to sunny, warm, Arizona. It is good to be home but we miss the many missionaries we served with in the Family History Library. We will never forget the wonderful friends that we made and the warm associations we had with each of them. I'm going to post a few pictures of the last social we had with the full-time missionaries from our zone.
We served with many other Church Service Missionaries that aren't shown here; we could go on forever about all of them. We feel so privileged to have enjoyed this rich learning experience.

Elder Brake was from our home stake in Arizona and since we were returning to a very warm place Byde passed his warm winter coat on to Him. Hopefully next winter he will get some good use from it.
I had to add a few pictures of our packed car; I don't think we could have fit another thing. We left SLC on Thursday morning about 7 am and intended to drive to St George or Henderson but we got driving and just decided to go all the way home. We pulled into our garage about 9 pm that night. It was actually a very nice trip home with great weather and driving conditions.

When we got home our children had gone to our home and set up and made our beds and done a great deal of unpacking for us. They even placed a heart made of chocolates on the bed which was a very fun treat. We feel loved and well taken care of by our family.
