PA Jords mission

So this past weekend we went up to PA to go visit some members that Jordan baptized. We are only about 4-5 hours away so we could not not go. We stayed with someone that he baptized and they had the most amazing home and very kind. The next day we went to church and I swear they all acted as if Jordan was famous. Everyone waited "in line" to get their chance to speak with him. It was the best. You could honestly see how much he meant to that ward and how much he helped bless so many lives. It was adorable and Ive never seen so many people remember one missionary.
When we were on our way Jordan kept saying how much he wished that his mission president would be there for church but that he knew that it was like a one in a million that he would be there. Well we go to church and what do you know they were there!! he and the presidents wife were going to cry because what are the odds?! here is a pic of us with them after sacrament.
This is the Marinos Jordan loves this family and got really close to all them while he served his mission out there. They all still keep in touch this family calls Jordan all the tme and loves to talk to him its the cutest thing ever and I love them very much. At the time the only had one little boy Tre who is know 3 years old. Their newest is Alex and he is adorable as well. Its nice to see the ones you baptized still learning and growing.

I didn't get a pic of the friends/family that we stayed with. THey are basically another set of grandparents for Jordan but this is half of their backyard. It is amazing. I wish Jordan took a better pic but next time we are there we will. They were so kind and so fun to stay with. Their yard was amazing, I do believe that I could move out to PA and be just fine if I had a backyard like this one.

  4. heather,
    I think Jenn would freak if she flew by herself to Cleveland. She wouldn't know what to do when she got there. I don't know about this..... although I know she would love to visit with you.
