Saying Goodbye

The last weekend of Jan, Clyde and Evelyn said goodbye to their home in Moore to go serve a mission in Indiana! They sent us this last picture of them in front of their home as they were leaving! They got to spend a few weekends with us as they were at the MTC training because they were free to leave for the weekend. We felt so lucky to have a little extra time with them. 

The girls put grandma right to work helping color and paint their cardboard castle. They got to watch Carter play bball one last time and of course we had to visit Maceys for one last ice cream cone with them! 

Here is the famous MTC map with them pointing to Fishers, IN!

 They made it down to watch Bri at her mini cheer clinic too and we loved having them for that. The following weekend we had to say goodbye for good! That was a lot harder than expected. There were lots of tears, alot from Chad too, which was hard to see. Neither of us expected crying as hard as we did.

The kids all got to say goodbye too.

 We are all so proud of them for serving a mission and its so fun to have missionary grandparents to write too and video chat with. We will miss them and will look forward to next Aug when they can come home!

After driving EXTRA miles to get there due to storms closing the road through Wyoming, they arrived at the mission home! We were so happy to see they made it! Don't they look so happy?!
