Danny's mom Diane belongs to a Study Group. These junior high, high school, and college friends have been getting together once a month for over 50 years to study the gospel.
We shared our wonderful Samoan mission experiences with them.
Twenty-two friends from 80-85 years old met at Diane's home Friday at 1:00 p.m.
Many were missionaries in their youth, some as senior couples. Bro. Luddington served in England as a young missionary and in 2005 went back with his wife to serve again.
We displayed information and treasures from our mission.
We were so impressed with their delight in seeing one another. They came all dressed up from 40 miles away.
They had so much fun socializing.
They told jokes, stories, and shared love one for another.
I just loved being in their presence.
I felt their goodness and wisdom that comes with years of making right choices.
There were so many smiles and laughter.
Some still hunt, hike and garden. They enjoyed treats, talking, and time together.
We shared Samoa with them; but they shared so much with us. We learned about growing old and certainly how to "endure to the end." What a manuia blessed day we had.

Good job, the display looks great. I bet everyone enjoyed it!! It would have been fun to hear. I bet you miss it every day. I like your pics of the pool and the ocean. Simpler times for sure.
