Saying good-bye ...by Evone

Last week we said our "good-byes" to Jaclyn, Brian and Brekan at the airport.  We made it quick and acted like it was any other good-bye.  Jaclyn was very brave!  Last night we went to Rich and Jeana's house to see them for the last time before we leave.  The boys were very nonchalant, but Libby was very snuggly and when she walked us to the car for the last hug, she had to wipe away a few tears.  She tried to be so brave, and I too got a little choked up.  I'm so glad that senior missionaries can call home and Skype with families.  Otherwise I don't think I could bear the separation.  We are starting to pack the suitcases......
