So Happy to Have Luc, Rachel, Ange, Beth and Richard Here

Elder Clark Gets Married - Nancy Hole Visits

Definitely one of our favorite elders, Cody Clark, invited us to his marriage and sealing to Emily in the Idaho Falls Temple and to the luncheon afterward in Menan on July 7th. I have seldom seen a couple who looked so radiantly happy as they entered the sealing room. It was a sacred privilege to be there.

The next day, on the 8th, we had a delightful time with Nancy Hole and her mother at the Olive Garden in downtown Salt Lake. It was so fun to catch up on all the news of the YSA in Cardiff.

Dearden's Come for the 4th of July 2011

It was a special treat to have President Andrew, Ann, Melissa and Lois with us in meetings on Sunday the 3rd of July 2011. President Dearden and Melissa bore their testimonies of the atonement in the Gospel Doctrine class I was substitute teaching. It was an incredible experience. Ann bore her testimony in Sacrament Meeting where we were singing patriotic hymns because of the 4th of July weekend. She started by saying in her delightful Welsh accent, "I'm glad it is not 1776 or I might be shot." She is delightful. Lois and Melissa helped me prepare dinner. 

President Richard and Amy Moffit had a gathering at their home for the Deardens on the 6th of July. We loved greeting them and the missionaries who knew the Deardens. Of course, I love Alex Bearnson and he has a beautiful wife and a very handsome little son.  

I absolutely love Amy Moffit. She is my kind of person.

It is always fun to see Sisters Cami Russell and Calli Stillman, here with Melissa. Cami and Calli have come to see us at our home and they are delightful. In addition, Elder Sessions and of course, Elder Gerber have been to our home. It is fun to see the missionaries and catch up on what they are doing.

A special surprise was to see Elder Aaron Wark visiting from Scotland.

I love him and his accent.

Blair McGarvey Spence was also there. Aaron and Blair grew up in the same ward in Scotland. It was a small ward and very few missionaries went out from there, but how lucky for us, they were both called to the England Birmingham Mission at the same time. Great people, full of joy!

More Visitors from Wales

I decided to add things to this blog that pertain to our mission to Wales.
It was so nice to have Helen Kay and her two children, James and Erin, here on a Sunday.

She was visiting a former missionary companion who lives in Bountiful.

Now in the photo below, they didn't really come here, but I loved this picture of Luc's family.
