I've been slow in getting a blog out about Sarah being home, but I was waiting to get pictures from her camera and I still don't have them. So for now, these are the ones from mine. We had many family and friends over for her homecoming sacrament meeting and dinner after. She gave an excellent talk on her mission. I know she touched many lives. And she speaks Russian very well!
This is how we see her quite often now, chatting with friends from Ukraine or studying, as she has started classes at the "U". She is majoring in Russian and International Relations.
She made Borche for us one night and it was delicious. I will have to make it regularly now. She says people in Ukraine eat it all the time because it is inexpensive and good for you.
Sarah was asked to speak at our ward's family home evening group a couple weeks ago. She took some souvenirs and told about her experiences. Great job, Sarah.
As an added bonus to the homecoming day for Sarah, we presented Bruce with his diploma for finishing up his bachelors degree. We made it official with Andy's cap I noticed we had in one of his boxes.
Here's the group shot of those who stayed for the ceremony. Thank you to everyone who made an effort to be with us. We know that many more would have come if they could.
We're especially grateful for Mom and Dad Garrard for driving all the way out here for Sarah's homecoming. We loved having them with us for over a week.
This was they day they drove off to go back to Alabama in their new Ford Hybrid. We were happy to hear they made it home safely. Thank you so much for coming! We enjoyed your visit and we love you!
