Final post from Brooklyn

The   

Well, this is our last week in New York. After church on Sunday we plan to head to Pennsylvania for the first night on our return trip. I plan to attend another pageant on Tuesday and then return to be with family starting Thursday night. We will report on our mission in Chino Valley on Sunday, August 9 at 1 PM. 

This was a week of goodbyes. The Staten Island students gave us a nice farewell card.

Bushwick class. 

The Midwood Wednesday class. 

Our Park Slope class. 

We were able to go to the temple one last time to be with the missionaries departing in July. 

We purchased a hearty lunch at one of the many food carts in the city.

We boarded the R train for for the last time to return to our apartment in Brooklyn. 

We enjoyed singing with the Park Slope missionaries at our last district meeting. 

Friday and Saturday were spent packing our car to the hilt. Since we have sold our home and our furniture, most of our earthly possessions were contained in that car. So the car is really packed. 

Now, for a safe trip home. Hope to see you all soon!
