Though you are not technically supposed to have a farewell, we thought that it couldn't hurt to invite the neighbors over to explain where Drake will be going and what he will be doing for two years. The party was our best neighborhood church-related activity yet-- two whole families showed up! (Previous years, when we've tried to show a church video or something of the like, no one has come...even though we had homemade ice cream!) The families, plus a lot of Drake's friends and the few relatives we have here in Kentucky made for a comfortably full house and a good time. Drake's missionary experiences began, as he answered the questions of curious friends and neighbors. It was called a success when at the end, we discovered that two of the pass-along cards we had sitting out on the table were gone!!! It's a start!
