Our farewell addresses

 Today is Sunday July 25, 2021.  We gave our “missionary farewell” talks today in sacrament meeting.  We were blessed and grateful that the assignment has been completed!  A big thanks to all our dear children Nathan and Kristen and Damon and Michael and Holly and grandchildren that traveled to support us.  So many sweet friends came and we were so touched!!!  How we love them all!  What would we do without such a large and strong support system?  

 

Right after the meeting we went to the Germania  park where Miriam Jan McFadden organized a wonderful pot luck get together for the Armenian community to wish us well as we prepare to depart for the mission field.  Hovig Mederdechian also was very involved and worked with Miriam to make it happen.  Yaz Simonian was there as was Robert and Sabrina Barekyan.  They paid a special honor to Judd for his help to the Armenian community in SLC.  It was very thoughtful and generous to plan this gathering.  We love our “Armenian family members!”  Our lives are so blessed with the rich associations and many that we love.  It was a joyful gathering!
