On April 22 I was able to deliver a quilt to Leiema. She graduates this week with a Master's in Public Health from BYU. She will return to American Somoa soon and I am not sure when I will see her again. I wanted to give her a gift. Mom suggested this quilt she had recently made. I thought Leimea would like it too.

I met Mom and Mandy in Heber to ge the quilt. Getting there was an adventure. As I was approaching the exit to get on Highway 40 towards Heber, I thought it said the exit was closed because the top half of the sign was covered in blue with white writing saying Closed. It wasn't until I passed it that I realized the exit towards Heber wasn't closed. I had to drive into Park City before I could turn around. I met them at the park and then we had lunch in the car from the Train Station (aka Dairy Keen) and chatted. I enjoyed my time with them.

I then made my way to Provo to deliver the quilt and see Leiema before she left the country. I waited for her to finish taking her final. I met her in the parking lot by the townhouses. Then we surprised Helena with my coming. We took lots of pictures and just chatted. It was so good to see them! How I miss them!

All too soon it was time to come back to Ogden. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon Mom, Mandy, Leiema, and Helena!
