I had a special experience on Wednesday - picking up some luggage that Jeffrey had sent with a member of his Lynn Haven ward who was visiting her sister in So. Cal. Marguerite Perkins had been carrying Jeff's piece of luggage for a couple of weeks and since she was shortly going to head to Utah for a couple more weeks of vacation she called. I drove to San Dimas and had such a lovely visit. She had been called on a mission 20 years or so earlier from Mexico to the Los Angeles mission. She learned English at the Provo MTC and then settled in Southern California after her mission where she met her husband Rob Perkins. He is a doctor in the military and they are now stationed in Lynn Haven. She had very nice things to say about Jeff including shedding a tear when she told me about his speaking in church on Mother's Day - about his mom - it made me cry too. In peaking into the suitcase it makes me realize how you boys have really learned to pack from your dad and it has gotten me excited to see that Jeffrey and the rest of his luggage very soon.

It's nice to see Jeff's "batman suit" luggage. Me and the girls always have thought is was cool looking luggage - like most everything Jeff portrays.
