ELDER KARREN DEPARTS - WE WILL MISS HIM

Can't even put this one into words. We have had Elder Karren serving with us as an assistant for 9 months. We hardly know how to do anything without him around. We will miss him dearly. It is like having one of our own children leave. He is an exceptional young man. He returns to Provo with a job offered to him at the MTC and with a job as an RA in the dorms. He is kind to everyone, loves everyone, doesn't judge others and truly cares about everyone around him. He is going to be a great leader and wonderful at whatever he choses to pursue.

When he was leaving today, we all stood around and cried and when we tried to take pictures none of could smile because we kept crying. Thank you for all your hard work, your endless efforts and devotion to this mission. You are truly a modern day Stripling Warrior and we love you.
President with Elder Karren
Elders Rex, Doman, Karren, President and me. (Elder Karren is 6'3" tall-pretty tall by normal standards) but these 2 giants make anyone look tiny. Elder Rex is 6'9" and Elder Doman is 6'5"

THEY ARE ALL GIANTS IN MY EYES. GIANTS IN THE GOSPEL!
President, Elder Karren and I (trying not to cry)
