Hi Gang, Sorry we have been so long on getting this blog out but things have been moving along fast with full days. The pictures are a small review of the past few days. We started out with our last church meeting in the mission field Sunday, then drove to the mission home in Utica. We had dinner and spent the evening with our mission president and his wife. Monday with left for Don's house in Rock Taven, he come home early and drove us around the area. The highlight was going shopping at the Orange County Choppers store. Don fixed us dinner and we had a great evening with him. Tuesday Don took us into New York City and we saw his work site and met several of the orthodox jews he works with, he then took us into the city. We were able to get a room on the 36th floor of the New York Marriot Marque in Time Square. We spent the whole day walking around the area. It was raining most of the day but not hard. We saw most of the sites and waited in line for tickets for a show. We got great seats for South Pacific at the Lincoln Center, Don joined us and it was magnificent performance. We spent the night in the city and on Wednesday got soaked seeing the 911 site, very touching, every american should see that. We also saw Wall street and the stock exchange. It rained hard all day long, lot of cabs. We got the experience of going to the port authority and taking a bus out to a park and ride to meet Don. Thursday we left early and drove all day to Angola, Ind. Friday we drove down to Nauvoo and spent the night there and saw some sites. Saturday morning we saw more of Nauvoo and then drove to Carthage, very moving place. We then went on the Quincy, Ill, we were able to find the old drug store where August Heidbreder worked as a pharmacist. We also saw the old Heidbreder home where a 5th generation family member still lives. With his help we visited the family grave sites. Took lots of pictures and had a great time seeing the old family stomping grounds. We were able to drive back up to I-80 and are spending the night in Williamsberg, IA. It has been a very busy week with lots of driving, the trip to the historical sites was well the time and delays. Truely a chance of the life time. We are really ready to get home now. Bishop Huefner called us and our homecoming will be on the 22nd of November so don't plan anything. We are planning to be home Monday (Nov. 2) about 7 PM if things change we will call you. Love Mom and Dad
