(Non) Farewell Take 2

We have confirmed mom and dad will be speaking in Page 5th Ward on April 20th at 11:00 am. We are very excited about their willingness to come down here and have a send off from the people they have loved and served for so many years! I have had so many people in our stake that have expressed their happiness for mom and dad's decision to serve a mission. So many people want to know where they are going, what kind of mission they will serve how long they will be gone, if they are excited, nervous, anxious.....I don't know if mom and dad even have an inkling of how the people of Page still think about them and wish them well! This is still their home.

So here is the next step...What a wonderful opportunity for us to get together again and wish them well and show our support one last time. I think the Lord knows how much the people of Page love mom and dad, and who is to say that He didn't want them to speak here one more time before setting off on their mission? We have been blessed to have a little extra time to say our goodbyes. We should use this chance to fulfill dad's wish to hear the Ross children sing!!! (-: Our little ward is not as blessed with as much musical talent as some other wards, and a musical number is a rare occurance. I know you are all so very busy. We have a lot going on too (Theo's sister is getting married on the 19th here in Page), but we can pull it off! I know we can!! I hope you will all consider coming to the Ross (non)farewell one more time! Let me know!
