MADELINE HAS A HOME COMING, PAUL JR. GETS A MISSION CALL

Dear Family,

Madeline came home from her mission in Scotland and Ireland.  She was felt to be under the weather there.  She has had exhaustive tests and medical evaluations and luckily, absolutely nothing was found on her evaluation here.  She has a clean bill of health for which we are all grateful.  After adjusting to the release, she is well, happy and looking forward to the next phase of her life.

She gave a homecoming talk in her church on Sunday and much of the family came up to hear her.  She did a marvelous job and spoke so warmly of her mission and the lives she had influenced for good.  She gave a vibrant testimony of the Gospel and her mission.

She had quite a bit of success in the time she served in both Scotland and Ireland.  Those she taught are in constant contact with Cheryl and Paul and so appreciative of Maddie. She is going back to school.  Here she is before the Stake President released her from her mission.

Maddie is great and all love her very much.  Here she is with some of her cousins from our side of the family,

Here is Hannah, Catherine, Rebecca, Sarah, Madeline B., Rachel and Maddie, the star of the day.  in front is Caroline, Emma and sister Annabelle.

Cheryl and Paul had a great open house after the church meeting and did a great job of entertaining all who came.  We all chatted and stayed a little long.  We all love Maddie.


Here is Johnny with a hat that Maddie brought him from Scotland.

During the week, Paul Jr. received his mission call. We went over for the opening and so did Paul's parents.
.Paul Jr.  was called to the Taiwan, Taipei  Mission and will go into the mission training Center in Provo in July.  we were all excited and happy for him and this new challenge,  John served there and got quite proficient in the language.

Well it was quite a week for Cheryl and Paul with the homecoming and the new mission call. We saw them again at the birthday party for Karen Huntsman.

We are proud of Maddie and happy for Paul.

We love you all,

Mom and Dad
