HI FRIENDS!
Scott and I have had a lovely winter!
We wish some of you could have hiked ARCHES with us in January...snowy but BEAUTIFUL! We had such a great time.
This is the famous "Delicate Arch" you see on license plates etc. in Utah. We are standing quite far from it, it is actually huge.
We miraculously bought spike crampons for our shoes before this outing which SAVED OUR LIVES!!!
We made a trip to the MONTICELLO temple on that Moab outing as well...a lovely little temple in southern Utah.
Scott had the opportunity to go to MEXICO CITY to do a story on the MTC there and also got to see the temple there!
It is so WHITE!!!
It was so fun for him to run into Ben Fagersten's parents there in the Visitor Center. We had seen them in the MTC before they left, and he got to see them again! So cool!
They are serving in the Area Presidency there in Mexico City.
The Mexico City MTC
And Scott made it out to see the Teotihuacan pyramids too! What an amazing place!
We LOVE our dinner groups! We are doing more "created groups" where we try to get together missionaries who served with each other so they can see each other again too.
This was a group from earlier in our mission, hence the number of CHILDREN!!
We were able to get: Chris and Amy Budge with kiddos Brooklyn and Link, Mason Halligan and his kids Griffin and Elliot and girlfriend Mariah? Mitch Peterson, Brooke and Mikey Murphy and little Hugh, and finally, DJ and Shelby Bush with baby Oakley…so cute! I got some good GRANDMA TIME with the kids too!
In February, Scott went with his brother Mitch back to Mitch's mission area in South Africa.
Here they got to participate in the Durban South Africa Temple Dedication.
Here is the temple at night...just stunning! Such fitting architecture for this temple.
Scott and Mitch also did a safari thing, but no pics posted here.
Another wonderful DINNER GROUP was with Jeff Griffin, Juan Castanos and Paul Wilson.
We have the BEST TIME talking to you great RM's.
Life is just better because we have YOU in it!
We count ourselves so very blessed to know each one of you, seriously!
We love randomly running into great RM's.
We were at RootsTech the last of February and noticed Chris Nicholas showing up on Scott's "Relatives At RootsTech" list on Family Search. Messaged him and voila! Instant meeting!
MADE OUR DAY!
And...some of you will remember our neighbor Dana that was baptized while we served. She and another friend from the old WestWing Ward came out for RootsTech and stayed with us for the last week of the month as well.
Here we were at a BYU Men's Volleyball game and got Cosmo to stop for some pics.
WE LOVE YOU! Schedule a time for a dinner group either on FB or contact us personally to create a group!
