Goodbyes

Saying goodbye to our family has been like taking a Band-aid off slowly--making it a bit more painful than you would expect.  Over the past three months, we have visited each one of our children and said goodbye to grandchildren; shedding a few tears each time.  It is hard to imagine how much they will change and grow while we are gone. 

Sis. Fowers Siblings and Spouses...Amazing Family!

Elder Fowers' Family...Our Hooper Roots!

 During the past week, we have been visiting our families in Utah.  Our parents are getting a bit older and are moving a bit slower and we have been thankful to be able to visit with them this week before we leave.  At each family gathering we have rejoiced in the love of a strong family who will carry us through their prayers in the coming months.  We have such awesome families and know that they are our foundation and strength.  We will miss you all!
