We came to Arizona last Saturday to attend the Temple with Jeanette & her family because her adopted son, Mitch was taking his endowments out for his mission to Columbia. We have had an enjoyable time. Yesterday, Jeanette brought us back from Paulden where she lives to Phoenix because Jarvis had understood that we were flying back to Utah this morning, but when we arrived at Margaret Walters' place, we checked the flight schedule & found we fly out tonight. We spent the night at Margarets' & she will get us to the airport from her place here. We had dinner with Jeanette & Jarvis' cousin, Connie at Margarets' place last night & had a wonderful visit. We have had a good visit today with Margaret & her family also. We will be going to Fort Leonardwood, Missouri next month for the graduation of our son, Frank, from Basic Training for the National Guard. We will maybe get to St. George after General Conference in April or in May. We hope to see brothers & sisters & their families as well as our children there & grandchildren. In July, Karen should be taking her vacation time & we will drive in a caravan with Bobs' kids & hers to New York to go to the Hill Cumorah Pageant. Caroline's daughter, Rachel, lives in Connecticut & she has agreed to drive to the Pageant & meet us there. We hope to be able to go to see Rosemary on the way back from visiting Karen. Rosemary now lives in Nauvoo. From Rosemarys' place, we would travel to see Valene in Iowa. These are the plans anyway. After we finish seeing our family members, we will nuckle down to responsibilities again.
We will be posting pictures from our mission. Enjoy. It was an awesome experience. We highly recommend it to everyone.

Love,
Jarvis & Colleen
