Oregon- Day 7- October 29th-Saying good-bye, Portland

 Oliver and Henry ready to go off to school.  It was hard saying good-bye, but we will get to see them at Christmas time.
 We followed Melanie up to campus so we could see where she works.  It is a beautiful campus.  Western Oregon is famous for its roses, even this time of year they are blooming every where.
 This is the building where Melanie works.  The rest of the staff is awesome to Melanie and she feels very welcomed there.  Out front of her building is a bike rack dedicated to a teacher named Hank, that use to teach there.  He loved to bike and was killed in a biking accident.
 Saying good bye to Melanie.  I missed getting Ben's picture because he left for work earlier.  He works in the school district in Corvallis.  We had a great visit with the Hays family and enjoyed so much seeing where they live now and how great they are liking it.
 Randy and I drove up to Portland and did a temple session there.  The temple is beautiful.  The temple sets among a whole bunch of trees and is so peaceful and quite.
 Beautiful roses around the temple also.  You go in the front door and there is an atrium there that people can set in while they are waiting for the bride and groom to come out.
We also visited the visitors center.  There were 3 sets of sister missionaries there and 2 sets of couples.  It is a busy place.
