We were pleasantly surprised when the Ash Flat Branch had a Farewell party for us 2 days before we left. We were shocked! They kept it a secret until we drove up to the Branch building at 6:00pm Wednesday evening. We were tricked. They told us that we were being taken to a fancy restaurant by Judi and Kenny Heath. Here are some pictures. Many were taken, this is just a small sample.
Brother Christman the moderator.
Kathy and I sitting on our new blanket (Red White and Blue Flag theme). They reserved the seat for us!
Looking at the blanket that Sister Buchanan made for Kathy (she's the one in the white blouse standing in front of the blanket).
Going through the refreshment line!
Billie Child, My sweetheart Kathy, Me, Pearl Johnson having our refreshments.
Lee Roy Castor relaxing.
Very nice farewell cake. Not sure who made it, but it was well done.
Sister Buchanan was the pianist who played the piano for our singing.
The men singing Elder Faust's "Here is the Christ". I love that song! It WASN'T perfect, but we did a good job regardless!
The primary children sang several primary songs for us. They are SO good!
Kathy Bassham singing her song "Stinkin' Dog Blues" We love the song! What fun had by all!
Sister Mona Worsencroft, my sweetheart Kathy, and I sitting on our blanket "throne"!
Teresa Bailey playing her harp! She is so talented. She plays several instruments well!
The last picture includes the Farewellee's, and the Fareweller's who orchestrated the entire party. We love the Heath's. Judi worked really hard to make this party happen. Kenny helped her!
