We had a wonderful weekend. Saturday was full of service and fun activities. Sunday we spoke in church. We had a great meal prepared by the Nobles. There was a fireside presented by President and Sister Griffiths. A testimony meeting followed. At the end, after many good-bye tears and tender thank-yous, the stake presidency presented us with a beautiful Beleek platter, and many kind words. It was a hard but good night. We will never forget the wonderful people in the Belfast Stake. They have hold of our hearts forever and God be with them till we meet again......

Those were some great costumes! I bet they are missing you like you are missing them. We are so happy to have you back but sad for you that the "goodbyes" were so hard.
