We love you Elder Thomas!

We have had a lot going on the last few weeks! We had Jerry's farewell, Thanksgiving, Matt/Robbie/Jerry's Birthdays, our families last weekend with Jerry, and Jerry leaving on his mission! We have been able to do what we love most... spend time with family!

Jerry did great on his farewell talk! He left us all crying and laughing! We had his farewell luncheon at the youth center and had a great turnout and lots of amazing help!

We then celebrated our last weekend together before Jerry left. We celebrated Matt, Robbie, and Jerry's birthday by going out to eat to our favorite place... TEPANYAKI! Then we went back to our house and opened gifts and then went to PPT (a huge gymnastics gym)!! We had a blast!

Jerry left on his mission on Wednesday 12/07. I went down to Richfield the day before to help him pack and get ready to leave! We then had him set apart that night and that was so amazing to be able to be there! We took a TON of pictures the day he left! We miss him so much, but we were able to get a letter from him yesterday and he is doing really well! He is such a great example to us!

We are now looking forward to head back to Richfield for Christmas and talk to our other missionary Dave! He flew out to his mission yesterday morning! He is also doing really well and learning a ton he says! We just feel so blessed to have two missionaries and be able to share in their joy! We hope everyone has a WONDERFUL Holiday Season!!
