We were SO EXCITED to have a visit from the Gorham clan this month!  Zach and Megan brought baby Madison to see us along with Zach's Mom and sister.  We had a great visit and it meant a lot that they would take the time to see us!

 We had a DOUBLE HEADER this day at the Logan Temple!
One sealing at 8:30 and another at 9:15!!  We were SO GLAD it worked out like a charm!

First was Dustin Martinsen and his bride Jessica.
We were joined by Conner Albrecht there as well.

And next was Nate Nelson and his bride Alicia.  We were joined by Brent Empey and Conner Albrecht.

And the miracle was Conner's Mom got a photo of all 4 APM returned missionaries together!!

Here is Nate and Alicia coming out of the temple.  Nothing like the joy of that presentation after the beautiful sealing!

Some of you may have run the TEMPLE 2 TEMPLE 5K from Provo Temple to Provo City Center Temple on July 25.

It is a family tradition to do this run/walk.

Great way to get our exercise for the day going from one temple to another!

We had some RM visitors this month as well including Amber Harding who looks cuter every time I see her!!

And we met some friends from Phoenix in the MTC like SISTER CHERRY the granddaughter of Jim and Dee Cherry from our office there!

And to our big surprise when we met our new Romanian missionaries the Elder Lemon looked a lot like our Tyler Lemon so we asked if they were related, you know, cousins or something...

...nope, brothers!  We were so excited!!  Great to have another Elder Lemon!!

I was able to make another sealing this week for Christian Blake and his bride Megan.  Loved being there to see her grandfather perform the sealing for them!

Tyler and Kelly Starr were sealed in California early in July and celebrated in Utah the last Saturday of July.  Great to see them and how happy they are!!

 Our newest missionaries at the MTC include front: Sisters Idiart and Anderson, Back: Elder Trottier, Sisters Lee and Dusenberry, Elder Lemon, Sister Gleason, Elders Perret and Jacobson (cousin to our own Clayton Murdock)

They are all headed to ROMANIA!!

And today we got a facebook call from ATAPANI MOALA!! Made our day!!

The cool thing was, he was calling this time with a REFERRAL from a former investigator who contacted him and wants missionaries again!
THE SEEDS ARE PLANTED!!
