Great Time

What an exciting week we've had. 
The weekend saying farewell to Arland was great. Janene fed us royally, complete with turkey dinner on Saturday evening. I highly recommend the Hudkins Bed & Breakfast. 

Arland gave a wonderful talk and the evening of his setting apart was one of the most spiritual experiences anyone could ever have.  I don't think there was  dry eye in the room.  The high class kleenex by the yard was welcomed as each person took their meter's worth and passed the roll around the room.  You gotta know - we |Hudkins have class!! I am grateful to have been a part this special experience.  We are very proud of Arland and wish him well on his mission.  Thank you Addie,  for posting his letters on the Chilean Beans Blog.  It looks like he is already receiving leadership training.  How great is that!! I know that missionaries love getting REAL mail so encourage you all to write.  Just don't expect letters back because he doesn't have that kind of time. 

Mikel's grad was super.  Congratulations, Mike.  Good job.  We are proud of you in your achievement.  Keep up the good work.

Also, today we were part of baby Stella's blessing.  What a beautiful blessing Graham gave.  She looked like a little angel doll in her blessing dress and the beautiful blessing quilt that Charlene made.  Those babies are lucky to have a gramma who makes such wonderful heirlooms.  My thanks go to Great Gramma Christena for giving Charlene a love for sewing.  It sure didn't come from me!

We love all the updates and especially the pictures on the blog.  Thanks for posting them.  Emma - I keep looking for more 'stuff' on your blog.

Love you all very much.  Thanks for looking after us so well.
