27 girls and Spencer for four months!!

Today Spencer left for Fiji. It was a bittersweet day filled with a lot of different emotions. He sold his car, cancelled accounts, deactivated his cell phone and notified all his accounts that he was moving to Fiji.  He had to get a  lot of SHOTS!!!   He needed new clothes that didn't have any writing on them. He will be there until the end of August, but he managed to get everything in one suitcase.  WOW, I am sure all the girls will be thoroughly impressed, especially since there was so many things he was asked to bring for others.
  His last day in America was spent shopping for last minute needed items and tyd tying up loose ends.   It is amazing what you need to do before you leave the country.  We had a nice dinner before he left and then headed to the airport.  Interestingly enough my aunt and uncle left today too.  It is hard to say good bye to people all in one day!


His suitcase was so heavy.  He will be the only guy  living in a home with 27 girls.  There is no dating allowed while he is there and supposedly there is another single guy coming to help with the program in June sometime. Hopefully, he will still come.  We are proud of Spencer for his desire to serve the people in Fiji.  Hopefully, living with this many girls won't  make him too crazy.  Kara and I were trying to warn Spencer of all the drama he might witness.  I am not sure if he knows what he is in for since Kara is so drama free and I sort of am (at least on good days) :) 

Good bye Spencer!!!!!!   We will see you at the end of August.  We can't wait to see pictures and hear all about it.  The big question that Kara and I have is if he will come  home unattached?  We'll see!
