Monday, January 26th, Jeff, Karina and I (Janae) left to drive to Utah. It is always hard to get out of town! We spent the night in Grand Junction and then Tuesday morning we continued on. By the afternoon we stopped in Manti Utah and spent some time worshipping in the Manti temple. It is so beautiful. The temple workers gave us a tour afterward. It is a beautiful temple! We got to see the amazing spiral staircase, although Karina's eyes gravitated toward the antique piano that was there.
Afterward we finished our drive by arriving at Don and Penny's home in Highland around 5:30p.m. Penny served us a wonderful meal and then we went with them to the Timpanogas temple. We had a great reunion with other friends and family there. We went afterwards to Don and Penny's home and enjoyed visiting with everyone while we ate some pie and ice cream.
This morning, (Wednesday, January 28th 2009) Jeff and I took Karina to the mission training center. The mission president and his wife spoke to us (and all the other new missionaries arriving today). We shed a few tears, but mostly heald it together, and said goodbye.
We drove straight home, arriving around 9:00p.m. That was a long day. We are at the beginning of a new, smaller family now with Karina starting her mission, and Cherisse away at college.
