Jim's companion from his mission called and said he would be in Salt Lake City this weekend. He and Jim had planned to get together sometime during his vacation to the States. This was the weekend he had time to visit with us. Nothing would keep Jim from seeing his favorite companion, even a terrible head cold. So Jim and I flew to Denver Friday morning and then on to SLC. Trissa came with us to SLC. We arrived at 4:00pm. My sister came and picked us up at the airport in my parents car. She drove to her husband's work and we left her there. We talked to Laura on her cell phone and met her in a parking lot. Trissa got in their car and spent the evening with Laura and Craig. Jim and I headed for Willard,Utah. The traffic was bad of course and we didn't get there until after 6 o'clock. Cliff(one of Jim's mission companions) had prepared a dutch oven dinner for us along with their mission president and his wife and two other companions. They were all at his home when we arrived. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner and visited until late into the night. Cliff had planned this reunion for Jim Fugel(Jim's favorite companion who is visiting from Australia) and was gracious enough to invite us when he found out we were coming to Utah. It was late but Trissa still wanted us to come pick her up so we did and then continued to drive south to my parents' home.( They are out of town on vacation so we have to place to ourselves)We didn't get there until after 1 AM. We are exhausted but glad we came.
