Farewell

Zack gave his farewell talk today.  Chelsey spoke before him and treated us with a quote out of here "cheesy things people say to start their talk".  She quoted Zack when he was companion speaker with Trevor Knight last year, when he said "You can tell how popular you are by how many people come to your farewell".  We were teary-eyed when Aurelia Casos sang "His Hands" accompanied by Allison Browning.  Everyone's eyes were on Kari Stotts as she signed the song.  Aurelia served in Osorno Chile on her mission and she sang one of the verses in spanish.

That afternoon, family came over for an early dinner and we had an open house at 6:30.  It was like a reunion and we loved having everyone come and share this time with Zack.

Enough hugs to last two years.
