Steph, Sam and Baby El flew out at 7:00 a.m. to meet Sam's family in Florida for a surprise trip for Sam's Dad's 60th Birthday. We slept in and were just hoping they made their flight.
Garrett served as the assistant to the President for six months. He served with English speaking elders, Elder Foster and then Elder Zacher. They served in a YSA ward. On Saturday morning, we met some of them, Jackie (who was baptized), Karen, and Mitch. We met them at Bongos for breakfast. Small world but Sister Mousser, who was a Sister Training Leader, was there with her family.
After breakfast we went and visited James who had been baptized while Garrett was there.
We rested a bit and then checked out the Eataly restaurant that was across the street from our hotel. We then got in costumes to go to Aly and Drew's wedding in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Drew was activated and Aly was baptized while Garrett was in the YSA ward. We were dying that no one was going to be in costumes, but pretty much most people were wearing some costume from different time periods. It was very theatrical and different. However, it fit them perfectly.
We came home exhausted. It was a good experience for us to understand how exhausting it was for Garrett and to always be going and trying to be on your "A game".
