TO EVERY THING THERE IS A SEASON

A time to weep,

And a time to laugh;

A time to mourn,

And a time to dance;

On Sunday, the Jorgensens took their last ride to church before leaving to go home to Utah. Lots of tears were shed that day.

After church we hurried over to pick up Larry and Linda Sippel, Jorgensen's replacements, at the airport. 
The tributes were held the next two days. They were well attended.

The Jorgensens were beloved teachers to hundreds of students over the last 18 months. Their students loved them dearly and it was very emotional when they sang and danced to the goodbye song.

The Jorgensens had certificates and flowers and gifts and souvenirs from those who worked with them and those who were their students. It was an outpouring of love in a huge display of respect and admiration. The VIP's showed up too with the Director of Mahasot Hospital there to present and to participate in honoring the Jorgensens. 

Everyone danced  to celebrate the time the Jorgensens spent in Laos. Students and administrators asked them to please come back and visit in the future.

Another tribute was held at the Center of Medical Rehabilitation where they were thanked for their service in providing wheelchairs for the disabled and a beautiful hand carved plaque was presented to them. They will be missed.
