We've Been out of touch For a Year

In some respects, this is just like my journal. I usually write about once a year!! There is always an entry right around January 1st as I solidify that resolution to write more often in my journal! HA! Anyway, the biggest updates are:

Carston graduated number 3 in his class and is now at Utah State University on a full ride scholarship. He also got a Research Fellowship from the Physics department! Yay! We love not having to pay for school! He works at Taco Bell - Que Bueno! And lives with Dalon and 2 other roommates near campus.

Yes, Dalon is back from Hong Kong. Arlen and I were able to go to Hong Kong in August and see his areas, meet his comps and feel the Hong Kong vibe (and smell the Hong Kong smells and drown in the Hong Kong humidity) It was a great experience, but I've never been so exhausted in all my life from hoofing it EVERYWHERE! Dalon is at USU and is working at the Space Dynamics Lab designing experiments for NASA. Pretty cool!!

I've included some Hong Kong pics. The temple is beautiful, the Mission Pres. was sooo nice as were the people of Hong Kong. We had many angels help us the first couple of days we were there. Arlen's Mandarin helped some but not completely. It was better once we were with Dalon and he could communicate in Cantonese.
