Mission Temple Trip to Jordan River Temple

Another cold day for a temple trip so no picture out front.  

One sweet experience as we sat down in the room, a woman sat down by Jena and reached  her hand over to me and said, "You might not remember" but I did.  It was Nancy Ross, our neighbor in West Jordan when we lived in Vista Lake subdivision.  I have a variety of memories of them--all good.  The Friday that we got our offer to go to Hong Kong her brother was in town from Hong Kong where he lived with his family.  He was able to come and review our expat package and let us know that it was a good package. It was so helpful to us and gave us confidence to move forward into the great unknown.  Later, as we lived in Hong Kong, we became friends with him, his wife, and family.  We were able to talk briefly in the Celestial room with Nancy and Grant and it brought back so many memories of the three years we lived in that neighborhood.  A sweet tender merch to see old friends.

Back to our missionaries--We had 20 missionaries attend the temple and 16 joined us for lunch at a nearby Sizzlers...great conversations

We love these wonderful missionaries and feel so blessed to work with each one of them.  They all have a story (which we love to hear) and have made their own sacrifices to be able to serve whether it is full time or part time as missionaries.
