Goodbye Tom

Tom spent almost two months with us.  He loved working at FM with us.  Some days with his dad and other days with me.  He even had a few days where Elder Brown was his supervisor.
Sanding pickets was a job he could easily do.  On this day we found him sitting in the easy chair while sanding.
Elders Bowman and Barney with Tom.
He got to have a ride in the surrey.  I haven't been able to do that.  When's my turn?
The young sisters especially loved him.  They made a point to say hi and call out to him.  He was particularly popular when he brought freeze pops around to all those working the grounds.
The Aveys brought him some delicious peanut butter cookies.
On his last day, Jordan came into the carpentry shop and we gathered his friends as well as the YSMs around while he was presented with his flag.  I think he would have liked to stay longer but we only asked for two months so that's what we stayed with.
It was a taste of what this mission would be like for him.
