September Activities 2015

 I cannot believe how busy our September ended up being!  In a good way...


We started in the best way ever, with a couple of sealings of returned missionaries.


Harrison and Katherine Wardle on Sept 4

And Jeff and Brooke Griffin on Sept 5

It was great to have Braden invited to join us at the temple for his first live sealing.



CONGRATULATIONS to Harrison and to Jeff!

We have had a few visitors this month...starting with Dylan Hyer who came with some friends on the way up to Rexburg.

Great to have Andy Marble come over while he was there for a visit too!

 And it made our month to have the WILLIAMS stop in for dinner when they came out for the reception of their granddaughter Mallory who married a young man from Lehi.

 Braden was glad to see them again too!

 We were sad the Williams had to get back to AZ...they missed the SUNDAY APM DINNER GROUP for September!

So fun to show the quilt to everyone!


Can you tell we had fun??

Sign up at reunion for the next 6 months!!

 Front:  Adams Dodd, Greg McCuch, Carly and Eric Turner, Back: Taylors, John COok, Landon Nistler, Jacob Goehring, Melannie Palomino, Jacob Parry and Melannie's roommate.

 OK, the camera set on the back of the couch with a timer is not the greatest...
But we were so happy to have a visit from Kadee Esplin and Alisa Baumgartner Hansen while Alisa was in town from Boston!
Both are doing just awesome!

 I was able to go to a Missionary Report this month to hear Rebekah Wooden!  Such sweet memories of her as a Sister Missionary, and to see how great her service was and how much she grew!
And it was even sweeter as I got to see Shelby Hixson and Elizabeth Young at the meeting too!
Bonus Blessings!

 Speaking of bonus blessings...that is what it is when we get to see the siblings of our missionaries at the MTC.

This week it was Abby Jensen, Zach's sister, headed to Arkansas! And her companion is Sister Hyer...no idea if she is related to Dylan or not, but her Mom messaged me that she is cousins with one of my former student's mothers.

We love serving at the MTC with missionaries!!

 We love seeing them at the temple afterwards too!


This past week was busy with two more sealings.

I met these three lovelies in the Ogden temple for Kristian McCoard's sealing to Taylor Pearce.

Michelle Meyer, Corinne Coleman and Annakiah Messick.

Here comes the bride!  Sweet experience to be there for this!

 Here are all the cute missionary companions!

And our APM representation at the sealing:
Annakiah, Corinne, Michelle, Taylor and Kristian, Elder Templeton, Me, Sister Templeton and Nannette Leigh who came up from Phoenix just for the sealing!  What a sweet woman!

Templeton were over from New Zealand for the sealing and for upcoming conference and reunion!

Stayed up in Ogden and met President T for the wedding dinner for Paul and Hollie Wilson, and met Jake Wade there too!  We had to work the day of his sealing so this was a sweet time to meet their families and visit a bit!
Best reward of the mission is finding that ETERNAL companion!

Rexburg Reunion will be posted separately, that was a blast!


We came home from Rexburg and had a late night visit from Joseph Fife, who met us in Provo when he came down from Rexburg for a funeral.  Had a great visit with him that night!

And were joined in Sacrament Meeting at the MTC by the Templetons, who wanted to come visit their stomping grounds!  can't keep this couple from serving wherever they go!
we had a fun afternoon visit and dinner with them on Sunday!

Looking forward to reunion this coming weekend!  LOVE YOU ALL!  Taylors
