Friday we met the Bryant Family who were here for a very short stopover, but took the time to come see us at the Mission Home.
We met Jena, Rily and Brin, Elder Bryants little sisters...except that Jena is taller than me at age 12!!
What a great family with lots of faith! Now we know part of the reason that Elder Bryant is so amazing!
Saturday night we met Brandon Johnson...formerly Elder Johnson, and his great parents! Oh how good it was to see Brandon again in person! He is just as happy as ever and doing great things.
Missions bring out the best and help us grow, and we love seeing the "down the road" of our returned missionaries! Thanks so much for coming back!
We saw two mule deer on our way into the canyon...
So great to visit with Michael and to see how happy he is and what good goals and plans he has to reach his vision!
More visitors this second week of May! We were thrilled that Clark Keele would bring over his new bride, Emily to meet us. They were married last weekend and came back to Phoenix for their honeymoon! And the weather was great, nice and cool evenings still this year! So great to spend time visiting with them. They are off to a great start!
The third week in May brought us a visit from ANDY PEARSON! We have missed his smile and enthusiasm so much! He hung out with us and helped us with projects as he was here for several days. He looks great and is doing great!
We invited over some special people in his family's lives, the Mission President and Wife from his parents mission! The Cannons were delightful to visit with. They were a young family when they served that mission, so we can only imagine how it feels to have the CHILDREN of your missionaries faithfully serving in the Church! That will be the true test of how successful we are as Mission President and Wife!
We had a couple more visitors this weekend. First we got to meet Jonathan Romrells cute Mom and grandma! They were in town and stopped by to see us. They were delightful. I can see why Elder Romrell was so energetic and creative! It runs in the family!
He is as happy and wonderful as ever! We invited him to join us with some friends to go to a favorite taco stand from his mission days...Waldos! Yum!
May has been so much fun!We were delighted to have some friends from our home ward in Provo come by this week.
The Robbins have been friends...FOREVER :)
It was so good to get caught up on things in the neighborhood and see how happy they are serving in their BYU ward and other service and job opportunities.
We led them over to the Phoenix Temple site so they could see our beautiful temple. It has been a great journey to see it rise from bare ground.
We also had some beautiful visitors around the same time...former Sister Anderson, now Jennica, along with two beautiful daughters of a recent convert family...Indara and Kimberly who I went to teach a couple weeks ago with our current Sister missionaries. It was SO FUN to see them again!
We came back to the house and baked tollhouse cookies...and ate a good share of them!I keep inviting myself to the girls baptism...Just waiting for a date :) LOVE YOU!!
It is heartwarming to see our returned missionaries making good decisions...going to the temple regularly, serving in the Church, loving and caring for each other.
Wow...just keep moving in the right direction...no matter what!!
LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE VISITS IN THE FUTURE! WE LOVE YOU!
