"Grand as it is, planet Earth is part of something even grander- that great plan of God. Simply summarized, the Earth was created that families might be." Elder Russell M. Nelson

Yesterday we had our Farewell and everything went well.  We enjoyed having the ward Men's choir sing "The Hands that First Held Mary's Child".  It was beautifully accompanied by Perry Neilsen on the piano and Josh Hafen on the cello.  All of our children were able to be here and we had lots of fun together.  Sheila will write in black, I will write in blue, Rick. It was a wonderful, sunny day as the pictures show. 3 days after Thanksgiving and everyone looked full and satisfied. We felt blessed to have President Harris and President Hafen in attendance at Sacrament meeting. Many very kind people said that they liked the talks and the music. We are happy and ready to go. MTC here we come. Then on to Australia!
