Hurrah!!! Last night at about 9PM, we finally arrived home, a couple days ahead of schedule even!!! Monday morning we left Wyoming and drove from there straight through to Draper, Utah which is about a half hour south of Salt Lake City. Spending all day in the car seeing nothing but flat empty plains got a bit monotonous, so we were all very excited
to get into the more mountainous regions of Utah. Like on our way out, the biggest thing that stands out about Utah is the very
red rocks there. We arrived in Draper in time for dinner with my mom's friends the Bells. They had moved out there several
years ago as missionaries to start a church there, along with some other friends of my moms. The church is celebrating its
10th anniversary this year, and it is definately thriving. We were able to take a tour of the church before leaving Utah, which was
exciting.
Monday night we stayed with the Bells (thank you so much Mr. and Mrs. Bell for your gracious hospitality.) It was great
to have the time to catch up with them on what they've been doing there. Tuesday morning after breakfast we went to visit
the Robies, some other friends of my moms who started the church along with the Bells. Together Mr. Bell and Pastor Robie pastor
South Mountain Community Church. After visiting the Robies we went and visited SMCC. I was amazed to see how big it is.
They meet in a warehouse which they've been busy renovating.
From the church, we left Draper, Utah and set off on our 10 hour drive home through Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and finally
back home through California. Out in the desert it got extremely hot, 115 at the warmest. We got home late last night and
are now busily unpacking suitcases, putting away clothes, doing laundry, planning trip to the grocery store, etc. It sure is good
to be home again. Thank you all so much for your prayers for our safety! More pictures to come soon!
Under the mercy,
Elizabeth
