The Farrers Come to Visit! Aug 18 - 21, 2017 Missionary work + family = LOVE!

Laurel and family are moving to Connecticut and were able to spend  parts of four days with us!  It was wonderful!  We LOVE being missionaries and we LOVE our family, so to have the two come together was absolutely wonderful! 

We had a temple session with all of the senior missionaries and our mission president on Friday afternoon, and that was the time they were arriving, so Laurel, Bret and the kids met us there.  What a fun treat to have them see our beautiful little temple and for us to see them again!  It was like Christmas!

We then headed east and stopped in Newark for dinner (thanks to an Olive Garden gift card) and showed them the mounds. We then continued on to Coshocton and Wally stayed at Rain’s house and then Chris' home both members of our Branch.

We so enjoyed showing off our town, the area, Amish country, seeing the sites, but the thing we enjoyed most was them getting to meet these wonderful members of our branch.  We love these people and talk about them, so it was fun for them to get to see our family (part at least) and then for the Farrers to get to meet all of the branch.  Melia and Cohen raised the attendance at Primary to 5!

Some of the highlights:

JUST BEING TOGETHER!

Attending church together including the dinner afterward

Visiting Roscoe Village, especially the candy shop

They left early Monday morning to finish their journey and what a wonderful weekend we had with them on their way through.  

Thanks again Laurel, Bret, Melia and Cohen (and Wally) for coming to see us!

Any and all are welcome to visit!!
