Marcus' Farewell

We had a great time at Marcus' farewell. His talk on being doers of the word, not hearers only, was great; he has such a great sense of humor. It is very apparent that he has a strong testimony and can't wait to get out there and serve. We really felt the Spirit through the whole meeting. 

I really enjoyed the musical number, which was I Know that My Redeemer Lives. Very nice violin and organ accompaniment and congregation sang last two verses.

First of all, let me apologize to those people in these photos who were in the process of eating their food. I will try to take better pictures another time!

Here's Mark's sister, Mindy!

His mother, Linda.

His brother, Andrew. (Pensive, isn't he!)

No, it wasn't hot; we were just all so relaxed and sleepy...

Kiersten discovered she LOVES peas! She went around and picked them and ate them the whole time. She does not believe in eating the pods on the sugar snap peas, though.
Charles' (Mark's brother-in-law) beautiful garden with lots of peas! Less now that Kiersten has been through here...

Charles' beautiful wife, Kristal, mother of the missionary.

The missionary. Going to Brazil. City name is too hard to pronounce...

Charles! Finally got to eat after everyone else.
Brittany and cousin Sarah (sister of the missionary; so happy that she will at last be able to use computer whenever she wants!).

Thanks for the nice report, Kris. The mission name is Belem (it's not that hard). Notice Sarah's Olson chin!
