FEBRUARY 2017 APM



This was a sweet month for us seeing quite a few of you great RM's!  President Taylor had a last-minute assignment up at BYU-Idaho when they announced the new Pathway Worldwide and new BYU-I president.  He rushed up to the devotional and no one knew he was going to be there, but look who he ran into...                  Desirrae Barnett for one!


Shaun Hampton and his girlfriend...


Then Drew Parks and his girlfriend...



Then Roger Pollard...



And then  Ryan James afterwards!!
BYU-I is full of great APM returned missionaries.  He was so happy to see each of them!!














Early February we attended ROOTSTECH up in Salt Lake with our neighbors from Phoenix, the Janulis.

We always look for Brooke Zollinger Murphy when we go, since her hubby's business is in this arena...he has some really cool stuff going on!!
And she is SO CUTE with her baby belly!!


February Sunday Dinner Group: Rebecca Wooden, Landon Bangeter and girlfriend Kaitlyn, Conner Albrecht.  Back: Us with Shea Smith, girlfriend Makenna with Chad Alvey, Matt Bryson, Jihun Jeong, Crystal Turner and Shannon Magee and her boyfriend Daniel.  Super fun group!






This week we had a visit from one of our mission babies!  Arwyn is SO CUTE!!










Well, that is because her Mommy Nicole is so cute!  Nicole Okeson Elkins does a good job staying in touch.

Oh, and this little baby does sign language (her daddy served ASL) in learning Spanish thanks to Mom's mission and is potty trained at 10 months...asian style.  Ask Nicole for details...it's pretty amazing!



And...here's to SPRING!  We have HOPE in things that we cannot see, like those bulbs beneath the snow that bloom even when it seems unlikely.
We are so grateful for our faith in our Savior and in the Gospel that brings us all good things in our lives!
Thank you for who you are and who you continue to become!

PS...please go to the FB page and sign up for a Sunday dinner for the next 6 months!
