The Revolving Door in Motion....

The Hermana's rewarded themselves with
a Braum's ice cream cone
in the final hours of the final night of Sister Oh's mission.
(after their last teaching appointment).
Yum......
 
 Then they did something that was against my better judgment.
They decided to spend the night outside on our trampoline.
I asked them, "Isn't this against the rules?"
"There is no rule against it," they replied.
Hmmmm....well, I decided to
sleep in the living room and listen for them.
It was supposed to get to freezing that night -- but they didn't care.
They wanted to see the lunar eclipse,
and Sister Oh! had been talking about this the whole
time she lived at our house.
 
 Sister Oh! was very efficient.
She is the only Hermana that did not have to stay up
all night long packing.
 
 Here they are all bundled up for their night outside.
 
 They even took their little alarm clock with them so they would wake up
bright and early. 
 
 I went outside at 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. to check on them.
We left the door unlocked so they could come inside if they wanted to.
They came inside at 5:30 a.m.
They were up and out the door at the appointed time the next morning.

 It was sad seeing Hermana Oh leaving the house.
 
 I will miss her enthusiasm and bubbly personality.
I can't believe she was here for 9 months!
Time is speeding up, for sure....
 
 One last picture for the road!
Farewell and Good Luck
You were a hard working, excellent missionary!
Please come back any time.
You are always welcome....
You're picture is still on the "family wall!"

  1. Oh Sister Whitley...so precious! Thank you again for taking such good care of her. We heard all about their campout on the trampoline and seeing the eclipse. We are so happy to have her home. She is doing great...spending some time with a cousin visiting from Idaho for her homecoming talk. We hope to come visit and meet you possibly in June when her friend is getting married in San Antonio. Thank you also for the beautiful photo book you put together for her. We will forever be grateful!! :) PS. Her talk was awesome on Sunday. She has grown so much!!!
