Almost the Final!

Hi All,

So, the best-laid plans.....



We had planned to finish Stake Conference today at 1 pm and then do our blog this afternoon. It's been quite a week.

BUT...  it's now almost 4 p.m. and it's not even started. We have a few other things to do this evening, including our farewell dinner at the mission home with the Rawsons. We leave for the airport at 4 a.m.

The bags are packed and sitting in the office waiting for the Assistants to put them in the car. Weights are 21, 19, 19, 19 kg.  We are allowed 23 kg each, so that part is good!

We've spent all afternoon talking with friends we may not see for a long time, or ever again! And taking lots of photos to fill up the last blog post.

SO....  we'll work on the blog on the plane tomorrow. We fly from St. Petersburg to Frankfurt to San Francisco and get there at 1 pm, weather permitting--but our body clocks will think it's midnight by then.

If anyone wants to come, we will be giving our homecoming report in Church next week:
Sunday, 10 March,  9 a.m.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Palo Alto 2nd Ward
3865 Middlefield Rd
Palo Alto, California.

Also, we're hosting a mini reunion at BYU on Friday, 22 March.  Come to the Cougareat in the Wilkinson Center for an ice cream cone on us, 4-6 p.m.
