__________

Dominique and Martin Leno and one son they have another son and daughter.  They invited us to dinner a few times.

One last picture of Rosa.  She couldn't join our church because she wasn't married so she decided to join another one after years of coming to church.  I hope she gets to the U.S. with her family.

This was Bevin's barber.  She was in our ward and treated us so good.  She cut Bevin's hair a little short but she was so nice he couldn't dream of going any where else.

We invited the movers and their families to come one last time for Tacos. Only one mover could come the others were working. Their families came just the same.  They have bull fights to the death on Sunday's so they couldn't come to church.

Whit and Tiff

Whit and Tiff and Ethan came to visit over conference weekend it was also Easter.  We had a great time and Ethan and David got along great. Denis and David came to dye Easter eggs.

Whit, Tiff and Ethan and Ollantaytambo

Welcome committee

But when we got to the St George airport this is what we saw as we got off the plane. It was so good to hug everyone again. My mom promised to wait for me to get home and there she is standing to the right. This is good too!!!!

The Poulsens and Johnsons came to our homecoming talk.  They were so good to  us.

The night before we left we had dinner at the mission home with the mission presidency. I got very close because we traveled a lot together. I really do miss these folks.

Some of our Friends

Two of our dear friends in Cusco. We visited Hermana Alicia (bottom) and Hermana Juanita many times. We  also visited Elva and Julio Cesar many times and many more. When we went to andahuaylas and Abancay and all the districts we tried to eat in the pensions of the missionaries and visit as many people as we could in their homes. Looking back we realized how much we loved the people.

 Leaving them was very hard to do. We felt like we were abandoning them. We loved being in the houses of the people. I never got sick when we ate their food. If I go on another mission I am not going to make friends because it is too hard to leave them.
