GOODBYE TO THE GREATS

On Saturday Great Grandpa and Grandma Romrell, AKA "the greats," left on yet another mission. This time they are off to the Mesa Temple Visitor's Center. We are so excited and proud of them. They have served so many missions and are such a great example to not only Ryan and I, but to our 4 little children also. We know we are blessed because of their devotion and obedience to the Lord.

On Friday they had a little going away party for the family. They had the little great grandkids come swim at their hotel and filled their bellies full of pizza. We also did cake and ice cream as a combine birthday party for Rhett and Laiklie. It was great to spend a few hours with them before they left. They gave the kids a picture of themselves and of the Mesa Temple to hang by their beds to remind them to pray for them. We will be praying for them and look forward to a trip to Arizona to see where and what they are doing!

Grandpa and Grandma.....we love you and will miss you while you are gone, but THANK YOU for making the decision to serve!

Love,

The Hawkins Great Grandkids :)

(Sorry about the picture...we obviously forgot the camera and had to use Ry's phone!)
