Well, they're off!!  Our first four Elders to return to their mission in Madagascar are on their way back!  We took them to the airport to fly to Johannesburg this afternoon and they will fly on to Madagascar in the morning.  One more Elder leaves on Feb. 20th and the last two on April 3rd.  We will miss them SO much!! : / 

Our Madagascar Elders

L-R: Elder Passey, Elder Chounlamany, Elder Freestone and Elder Jordan

There they go!!

Just a picture I took on the hour and a half drive home....

I have never seen anything like these flowers!? 

We stopped in Manzini and loaded our truck and the ZLs truck with everything

from the flat we are closing.  When we got home, this was the view from our kitchen window!  No rain yet... but it sure looks like it's coming! 

We hit the jackpot yesterday with a package from Jamie

and an envelope with Valentines from her kids and another packet 

of Valentines from other grandkids that Emily had them make at her

place after Sunday dinner! What a FUN surprise!!!
