Do these statues look familiar to any of you? They are behind the main building of the Missionary Training Center. President Taylor was entertained by the "SNOW PACKS" worn by these cycling Elders.I have always commented how funny it is that they do not have them wearing HELMETS...you know...SAFETY FIRST!
So, our friend Lane Steinagle, who works in the MTC, took this photo for me after hearing my concern!
We spent Christmas afternoon in the MTC helping our branch make their Christmas calls home.
It was a fun afternoon! They are really great kids! They had only been in the MTC about 9 days!
I think I already blogged this meeting, but when I went to pick up my Santa Run suit, this character helped me! And now Kyle Bradfield is a NEW DADDY! Congratulations!
We had our December APM Dinner group with these great RM's:
Collin Christensen, Landon Bangerter, Scott Moore (who now honks and waves at me when he drives the bus by while I am running or walking), Nathan Wainwright, Matt Bryson, Whitney Welch, and Jordan and Sonya Hastings.
One Sunday morning I was getting ready to go to the MTC and the doorbell rang. Look who I found outside!
Rebecca and Daniel Handley! We had a brief visit before I had to go. They were on a Sunday drive and recognized the house! Very fun!!
We made it to the reception for Nathan Judkins and had the best time meeting his family and also got to see Michael Kellett and Matt Mason who are his good friends. We met Matt's family as well and that was really fun too. We wish we got a photo with all of them!
Scott and Braden went to Las Vegas to meet up with our son Austin to watch the BYU/Utah game.
While he was there he was able to meet up with David Yoxtheimer...
And his panoramic view of the stadium.
Meanwhile, I had my priorities in line :)
I was blessed to be able to attend not one but TWO sealings in the Bountiful Temple on Dec 19.
First was Tyman Weiler and Aubree. They had a beautiful sealing ceremony.
And what was even more fun was who was there at the temple with me.
Alex Ure and his wife and Nathan Elliott and his wife!
It was REALLY COLD outside!
But the cold makes it a great time to SNUGGLE!
I hung around for Annakiah Messick and Kaleb Christensen's sealing that afternoon.
My next sealing was during a workday for Scott and he had to be at the Provo City Center Temple Open House so he could not miss any more meetings at work.
I however, was able to take the train up to Ogden on a very snowy day for Joseph and Rachel Cotton's sealing.
It was such a special day!
We sorta kinda LOVE IT when our RM's find their eternal companions!
Does this look familiar?
Speaking of familiar...we were surprised and excited to see some of our dear friends on these tours.Brady Jones was bringing someone during missionary week and we got to meet his folks!
We saw Sarah Jenson at the grocery store after our tours that day with her fiance. Awesome!
And we saw Amelia Johnson with her folks when we hosted Elder Gavarette's tour.
Then we ran into Connor Cardwell and his family during the missionary tours as well. Special interactions with special people!
We look forward to the rest of January and our dinners and other meetings!
HAPPY NEW YEAR APM!!!
