Hey, Elder, "Let's go and do some good"

We had a wonderful experience in the MTC. It was a short four day crash course, but built our spirits ready to serve. We had the joy of being there the same time as our sweet granddaughter, Alicia. So we had lunch with her as often as we could and gots as many hugs as possible. Here are a few pictures: Jeff and Poppy and family came to see us into the MTC along with Kimberly and Jennifer and the little boys, Ayden and Ethan.


We love these pictures they are all unique, some looking, some crying, some laughing, and Jeff holding on to Ethan and here Kimberly is taking the picture.


Poppy is taking this picture and again we love the expressions on everyones faces.




Elder Allen and Sister Allen just received our tags, so we were putting them on each other. Notice I have my featherweight sewing machine above the tag. (Go figure!)

Here we are in the map picture, except England was way too high for us to reach. It is somewhere up there.
We left the MTC and had a couple days in Salt Lake before we flew out of for Manchester. So while in Salt Lake we celebrated Dad's birthday with Kimberly and had Melanie and Keven join us for a couple days.

Here we are in the Apartment in Salt Lake on Sunday after church, just before Melanie and Keven left for Boise.

Jeff and Kimberly took us to the airport on Monday May 11th 2009. We were really happy to have them with us. It was a great help for us to get our heavy luggage checked, but the best was to have them there to say, "good bye".
