A Special Weekend

This weekend brought a lot of "lasts".  Saturday we had our last lake team devotional.  We then cleaned the last bathroom and locked the doors- all of the work done for the year.  
     Saturday night, the sisters met at Smith and watched the women's conference broadcast.  I chose to miss it because Dayna got tickets to the Conference center.  We drove down and I went to dinner and then to the conference with the girls.  It was special to be with 9 year old Hallie and 8 year old Rivka!  

     Sunday was our last Sunday on the mountain.  What was announced as a 2 hour testimony meeting turned out to be about 3 hours long.  It was filled with a lot of emotion and tears.  
     Afternoon brought our last potluck dinner.  We had a great turn out.  Tonight we will go down and play our last game of "Marbles".        
     It has been a day of tears and emotion.  About half of the missionaries will be going home, having completed their missions.  The rest of us will be back next year.  We have had an amazing season, and grown to love all of the missionaries.  It is bittersweet to know that some our "family" will not be here next year, but we will have a new group of missionaries to get to know and love.
     We will pack up our cabin and head home tomorrow.  Wednesday we will meet back up with everyone at the Provo Temple, followed by lunch at the Wilkinson Center.  That will be the official end...so more tears to come....!
