Click on this Church link to see where Charles's graduation ceremony took place. We were also there Friday morning for the dedication of the facilities; it was so cold that morning when Carla and I left our hotel — one degree Fahrenheit. But it warmed up into the 20's most of the rest of our stay in Rexburg.

Following the Saturday proceedings, with help from some of Charles and Laura's friends, we loaded a van and all our vehicles with their belongings. Sunday, after sacrament meeting at the Rexburg 16th Ward, along with Cleo in our Explorer, we caravaned, with Hugh and Emily in her car and Charles in the van, and delivered Ella to Kaysville, UT. There, Laura's parents and grandmother put us up for the night. Cleo had the Harry Potter spot under the stairs, and Carla and I had Barbara's comfortable guest bedroom. Laura drove up the next day.

That Monday morning, a group of local priesthood holders helped Charles unload the van. In the meantime, Carla, Cleo, and I picked up Hugh and Emily at her grandmother's house in West Jordan; stopped at John and Jenny's in Orem to exchange some gifts; and then made our way to California almost continuously with snow or rain falling, making for sometimes slippery highways.
