We had a wild week trying to attend deployment ceremonies and returning ceremonies of the soldiers.  On Monday we went up to the hanger to send off a soldier and we never found him, but we found two others from the Watertown Ward  with their families.  A few minutes later three of the young adults from the Carthage Ward came up to us and asked if they could get a blessing.  We got the two from Watertown to help and found a small room and dad gave them all blessings.  It was a great experience!  Scott and Jen also went with us to one on Friday night.  We went to a ceremony of a returning group on Wed.   and it was so much fun.  The families are on the bleachers in the gym and they march the soldiers in and have a short ceremony and then let them loose.  There were about 300 in the group we saw.  They had been gone 15 months.  More are coming and going for a few weeks.  We loved having Scott and Jen.  It was so much fun to see family and show them around.  We send our love to all.  We loved the pictures of the Halloween party!  Thanks Molly and family!
