On Weds the 29th, the Elder's came over for dinner and left a message with us, followed by a family prayer. As we knelt we asked Elder Lindsey to say the prayer. As he spoke got a very distinct feeling that he was going to be transfered and this was the last prayer we would have with him. I didn't think I would get emotional about it, but I had to REALLY try not to let my emotions get the best of me. Anyway, as soon as the following Tuesday rolled around my prompting became a reality. He of course had to come over and say good bye, but not without some classic Hart time :)

Followed by a little more horsing around :)
It has been SUCH a wonderful time having him in our midst. He is a special man and I am so glad we had this unique opportunity to have his influencing spirit in our home. I feel very strongly that he has influenced Tyler in particular in a positive way in his perceptive towards a mission. Tyler has often mentioned how he is nervous about the whole idea because he doesn't want to have to eat "fish eyes" and not go without computer or TV (can you tell what our issues might be?). Anyway I truly believe this has helped open up his eyes in knowing what a mission can be like.
Elder Lindsey,
Thank you for your wonderful spirit you brought into our home. Thank you for your kind words and your awesome lessons. Thank you for sharing your testimony and love of the youth with us. Thank you for helping teach my children. Thank you for your time, dedication and prayers on behalf of the Hart family. You are one of a kind and will be missed.
Love,
The Hart's

Tara - what a fitting tribute to a great man. I have no doubt he was planted in your neighborhood by a loving God who knew both your needs AND CJ's needs. What an awesome experience you have all had together. I love that you chronicle these miracles in such a beautiful way. Your words brought tears to my eyes this morning as I contemplate the great puzzle of life that the Lord puts together so perfectly, for our benefit. I love you and that wonderful family of yours!
