SISTER HARTMANN RETURNS FOR A VISIT

About six weeks ago, Sister Michelle Hartmann came back to pay us and other members of the Elizabethtown Ward a visit. Michelle is from Boise and will soon be attending BYU-Idaho in Rexburg. Her original plan was to live with us in Idaho Falls (because we were supposed to be moved out there by now) while she attended school. She has seen fit to forgive us for thwarting her well-laid plans.

While here she also travelled to the eastern part of the state to visit friends in Beattyville, KY. It was a real treat having her back in our home. We hit all of the usual spots including dinner at Texas Roadhouse and taking her shopping. While Michelle was here (we can call her that now) we also talked to one of her buds and another of our girls, Sister Genni Clark. Genni is back home in Utah and will be getting married soon. She has, in Michelle's words, "A big honkin' diamond on her finger!"


We stay in contact with as many of the missionaries as we can. It seems the sisters are the only ones that continue to call or write. Sisters Hair, Curtis, Roque and Clark are all either married or engaged. Jacci McFarlane calls or texts us often. We still hear from Sisters Jensen and Gregory who have returned home as well as Sisters Bartholomew (still serving in Kentucky); Itae'ehau (serving in Tell City, Indiana); and Nakajima (still serving in SLC).

We have been very fortunate and blessed to become acquainted with these quality people and to have them in our home. We have taught with them, been taught by them, laughed and cried with them. Our lives are enriched for having known them.
