We leave for our mission in 11 days.
Our friends the James', Paula and Mike
held a going away party in our honor last night.
Such good memories.  Paula really outdid her self by
cooking up some wonderful Romanian food.  Everyone
loved it.  We surely will miss the High Priests in the Country Gables Ward

Rand and Julie with our good friends Mike and Paula James

 Rand and I wearing the garlic necklaces with our names in block beads given us by the Skinnels.  We're sure Betty made them.  She is so sweet and funny.  Garlic discourages the vampires that Romania is known for.

 About 30 friends of the Country Gables High Priest Quorum (including wives) were there.  Andy and Pat Hanson, Kari Pike standing with Julie and Dawn Kelly were there.

 Janice Baird at the same table with Julie and Paula.  Far right is Jim Skinnell.  I didn't get another picture of him

 The Pikes came from Gilbert.  So happy to see them.  Bishop Pike was bishop years ago when Julie was the Relief Society President
