Mini-Mission Reunion

So Beep and I had two of my former missionary companions in town over this weekend. It's hard to believe that we were on our LDS missions over 14 years ago. I'm feeling extra old these days, and all three of us are getting gray hair. Funny!



We all have stayed very close with each other over the years. We had a good time reminiscing about our missions and what we did and did not do, and remembering all the little details. We all had a good laugh. Also chatted about common other companions we had in the field that we did not care for very much.



We talked about sneaking out to the concerts to keep our sanity from tracting and reactivating less active members, and all the incredibly interesting people we ran across. It is sort of funny to me that all the "die hard" companions I had on my mission are the ones that have left the church and are basically agnostic, and those of us that had "balance" as missonaries are still involved and hold the gospel fairly firm in our lives.

T & S, have had Emily and are expecting their second child shortly. They are up here for a week visiting people and seeing how much the region has changed since 1994. R & S, have relocated to the region a few years back and live in Monroe WA, so we are able to get together with them more frequently. S grew up on the east side.

It was great seeing everyone and always fun to have a house full of people. And by the way, the lasagna was a big hit! But then, would you expect anything less from Bop's cooking?
