We can't get rid of them!

As I may have mentioned previously, we came to know (and mostly love) 451 missionaries during our time in the Peru Huancayo Mission.  We keep up with many of them on FaceBook, to which we were asked by the Church to subscribe after the mission.  That's fun, seeing them get home,

marry,

have kids, 

get fat, lose their hair (he, he), etc., though there are occasional heartbreaks that they also share with us.

We've been to several weddings; unfortunately, our location on the East Coast of the United States makes that difficult.

Unless the wedding is in Australia, and then no problema.

We've been honored that a handful have dropped by, even way back here in North Carolina!

OK, so we forgot to take a picture when one visited, but Photoshop saved the day, no?

I admit that several were passing through on their way to the beach or other places anyway, and would have been spanked by Paula if they had not stopped by.  However, others have gone to not inconsiderable bother and expense to see us. Most recently, (former Sister) Jane Goodfellow came and visited for a couple of days.  

We ate barbecue and hush puppies, which were eye-openingly appreciated by our visitor, as well as collards and shrimp and grits, the latter being another hit.

We hiked in a local park forest,

and did the eclipse, or at least our 95% of it, on the front walk.

Sister Goodfellow bonded with the fish in Paula's garden.  She gave them fish food, and they nibbled on her toes.

The last day she was here, we attended the Raleigh Temple.

A great visit by one of our adopted kids!
We hope your kids and their visits are as pleasant.
