NC night at the Slausons!

Elder Slauson who is serving in our ward right now, has the nicest family. His mother Kris put together a mini NC missionary reunion while we were there. We had Elder Gillett and his wife Brooke, Elder Jenkins, Elder Ariotti, and Elder Gudjenov and his wife Molly, his mother and brother also came. Finally faces of those wonderful women I have spoken with over the last year. Kris and I have corresponded over Elder Slauson's mission. It is hard to believe it is coming to an end. He goes home next month. We are going to miss him along with many others that we know who will also be leaving next month. It was so great to finally meet them after talking to them on the phone over the last year and a half. The food was delicious and the company so much fun! They even showered us with the most thoughtful gifts. Thank you so very much Slauson family we love you.Zach with Josh Ariotti, and Tory
