Horray for HELLO /OLA (better than good -GOOD-BYE)

Part of the family bids Hayley good-bye at MTC Jan 7-2009

All set to enter MTC

the Sunday before she entered MTC --family says good-bye

Portugal says Hello

July 28-2010

Dear family-

My life is an open book--so its no secret... and we all know that I (Lynda) like "hello" more than 'good-bye'...

.actually to tell the truth when I have to say good-bye-- I still get a pit in my stomach--just like I did when I was five. I remember when I was five --and I would have to say goodbye to my sisters/borthers - going back to college just doing that gave me a funny feeling inside . Now saying good-bye to my own kids/grandkids still gives me a pit in my stomach. Whether you kids be moving to another area--or even leaving me after a visit --saying good-bye leaves me lonely and gives me a "pit". bottom line let's face it--- I really don't like to say good-bye--but I love it when I show up and the grandkids are shouting Hello Grandma--you're here. so with that in mind imagine all the happiness that comes to me when I can hear or say:

"Hello "--"hi"=-"look who's here"--"you made it" ----'welcome home' ----"OLA' --

so -drum roll-- Happy day-coming up-fri (30th) is a hello day--horray for Hello to Irma Call

-welcome back --

well done good and faithful servant.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we are very proud of how you Represented our Father in Heaven--yourself and your ward family and your family
