Elder James wanted to learn how to bake bread before he left, so we did it the night before transfers.
We always seem to love our Elders, but there was something special about Elder James. Maybe it's just because he is the one we had to say good-by to this week. He is going to USU, though, so we will for sure see him again. He will start school there a year from this fall.
