Katie and Richie moved from Clinchco yesterday.

It's the end of an awesome chapter of our adventure here, 

and we will miss them so much!

But we are so excited that they are headed in a new direction in their service to Jehovah - 

by the end of the summer they'll be off to the West coast to help a Croatian language group.

Our going away present - a photo book! 

Katie and I used to do "Keychain Exchange Day" when we were younger.

I'm not even sure how we came up with that, but we hadn't done one in years, so we figured it was high time.  

Thankfully, they'll be back in a couple of weeks for their going away party,

so we were able to keep the sadness to a minimum yesterday.

But I did text Katie that night and completely forgot that she wasn't sitting in her living room in Virginia.
