24 March 2018 It's a wrap!

This will be the last post for this mission, we are home. Included will be pictures of the family that came out to visit. So all in all the mission was short (6 months) but packed with great things. I'll start this with the pictures of the family visit. Holly, Jeremy, Tennasyn, Tyleigh and Kenny came out. We had a great time.
