January 14, 2015 A FAREWELL . . .

It's SO hard to say goodbye to such an amazing mission, but our last day has finally arrived.

 

We have loved serving here where the handcart pioneers struggled so valiantly to get their families to Zion.

We have loved serving with such wonderful missionaries whom we love and will always hold dear in our hearts.

 Our sweet winter missionaries prepared a fun farewell dinner . . .. . . admonishing us to continue to serve our Heavenly Father.The food was wonderful, of course . . .

 . . . and so was the company!   

After that delicious meal we were treated to some 
personalized songs by the Sisters . . .

. . . and they all gave us a beautiful handcart scene made by Elder Petersen . . . 

 

. . . so that we would always REMEMBER!

And we will!

 

It was also good to have a chance to say goodbye to 
the Stephensens, the Whitlocks, and Chris.

And now it is time for big changes here!

Mormon Handcart Historic Sites

has become its own mission and will be called

WYOMING MORMON TRAIL MISSION!

President Bushman is the new Mission President, and he and Sister Bushman will preside over this new mission for the next two years as it continues to evolve.

We love and support them and look forward to hearing about the future of these historic sites!

We also look forward to our Missionary Reunion 
at our ranch in Utah on 
Saturday, July 11, 2015.

What a blessing and a privilege it has been to serve here.

But for now, farewell and thanks to everyone . . .

  

. . . and God Be With You Till We Meet Again!
