To Meet and to Part

Kaye, SK's sister slipped away last night.  Our daughter called us to tell us that Kaye had died....while we were expecting it, we didn't think it would come this fast.  Since those moments, our minds keep returning to her, her life, her legacy, her loved ones.  She faced some tremendously challenging times and she knew pain.  She was generous to a fault and kind.

Our morning wasn't very productive as we quietly went through the motions of Monday tasks and preparations.

We arrived at the center at the usual time....worked on a few things there, and welcomed people as they came.  We had 4 missionaries and 5 investigators, which is always a good thing.  The game was "Battle of the Sexes."  Women were on one side of the room and men on the other as questions were asked and each team answered.  The questions were clearly weighted one way or the other, as questions either males or females would better be able to answer.

As you might imagine, there was a lot of laughter, competition and good-natured teasing.  The women won the game, by the way.

Kasper will be moving to London!  He has an exciting job there with a Danish restaurant, he has a place to stay and he is excited.  There is even a girl there that he is corresponding with daily.  What more could you ask?

We'll be sorry to see him leave...he adds a level of fun and enthusiasm wherever he goes.  He has excellent ideas about everything and he is well-grounded in the gospel.

"To meet and to part is the way of life"....says an old Danish proverb.
I heartily agree.....but it doesn't make the partings any easier.
