Welcome Home Grandma and Grandpa!


Rick's parents just came home from serving
a mission half way around the world in India!
It was a great and challenging mission for them.
They lived in two different place during the week.
They taught at an orphanage for 4 days at Pathway
and then traveled to Chenai to stay for the other
three days. Some of their duties were teaching
Geography, teaching Seminary, teaching building
and repair skills, Being in charge of finances for
missionaries, making sure they don't get bit by
snakes, talking to Geckos in their apartment, trying
not to get run over by cows, buses, bikes, or anything
else on the street. This is just to name a few. They
were also a part of people joining the gospel.We are
so proud of their service.We are also so glad they are
home. Here are a few interesting pictures from their mission.

Kids at pathway. Sometimes they don't know how
old they are when they come to the orphanage. So
they measure by how far their arm reaches to the
other side of their head. Interesting huh?
An Indian women carrying rocks on her head.
They do this all day for their job. What a headache!

Here is Rick's Mom attempting the rock thing.

Here is a Lizard they found.

Emery
Who ever could come gathered in Emery Utah.
Rick's parents still have the house and land where his
Dad grew up.What a Great time we had! Here are a
few of the Pictures!


Picture Scavenger Hunt
We did a picture scavenger hunt with places
in Emery that are landmarks. We split up into two
teams. The one rule is that someone needs to be in
the picture. We had a Great time. Here are a few of them.
