In the distance is the beautiful Mt. Reineir. I was in Federal Way, WA for my first month. It was great and I saw a lot of good surgery.
The next rotation was in Utah where we were lucky enough to be able to stay with Alicia's Parents in Kaysville.
Here is Bennett at the fountains at Gateway Mall in Salt Lake City, UT.

After a short month spent in Utah with the family, and a long month spent working in the VA SLC, it was off to Phoenix, AZ.
Half way between SLC and Phoenix.
Phoenix was hot and long, and it was good to get the heck out of there. This is on my last day at Phoenix. However, I will give a special thanks to the Stauffers for putting up with me for a month in Mesa.
I went from Phoenix, AZ all the way to Tacoma. The great thing about Tacoma was everything. After working a long hard month away from my family. Iwas able to spend a relaxed month with my family up in Tacoma. Alicia and the kids were able to come with because of the exceptional kindness of the Cahan family that I had met while in Federal Way. They put us up in their beautiful home in an above garage apartment completly to ourselves. It was fully furnished and perfect for our little family. They would not except any money for the month and were extremely courteous to any of our needs. They truthfully were a tender mercy from the Lord to be able to be together as a family and have much needed savings for the month on rent.

After a great month back in Washington it was off to Detroit, MI. Detroit was the final month away from each other. The highlight of Detroit was going to church with Elder Tanner Wahlen.

We sure are glad to be back together in Chicago. This is our last year here. So if you haven't visited us in Chicago, now's your last chance.
