GOODBYE TO A CITY WE HAVE GROWN TO LOVE

 

We have grown to love Chicago -

Partly because it is beautiful,

and also because

there are 8 million

children of God living here

who he loves.

 

The mission will continue to try to reach as many of those souls

as possible.  We, hopefully, will be assigned to

another vineyard in Salt Lake.

WILL IT ALL FIT IN THE CAR...

Can we get all this in our "little" Blue Highlander?

 

Sucess is looking pretty Grim.

With the help of the above two missionaries -

we squeezed it all in.

 

ANDREW ARRIVES....

Our grandson arrives to help us get ready to go home.

 

But first, a little fun.
