Mission Get Together

 Since we are moving to Montana this week - we invited as many former Jamaican missionaries to our daughter's house in Provo.  Here are Elders Tirado, Robero, Ashton, Kraus, Nelson, Ostberg and Gardner.

 Some of the senior couples came also - the Andersons, the Schfermeyers, and Sister Apgood and Elder Cheeseman - love all these people!  Here is Elder Ashton and Kraus with us - then Elder Gardner and Elder Tracy - who were our 'trainers' in Ocho Rios - really great missionaries ALL!

Primary Programs

 We were so happy to be in North Carolina when the Hardy Grandchildren had their Primary Sacrament Meeting Program - all the kids did their parts really well - very well!  Proud of you, Sophie, Grace, Luke and Noah.

 Last Sunday we were happy to attend Eli and Isaac Kroeber's Primary Program - they both did their parts well and sat on the stand the whole meeting.  There must have been about 100 Primary kids in the ward.  Made for nice singing!

 Just yesterday we were able to drive to Hyrum and attend Joel and Anna Mortensen's Primary Program.  Aunt Polly went with us and we all had a great time... Joel and Anna did real well - we are so proud of all the grandchildren and wish we could have seen the other's programs also.

Grandma and Grandpa Mortensen came also - Families are Forever!  Polly and Grandpa Smith were still in the church building - and Joel and Anna needed to get to their Primary classes.

Family Reunion

 On Friday, we met at our parents graves in Provo - Derrell didn't make it this time.  We had a great time visiting and laughing.  Next was dinner at Sizzler's - good food and great company!  Saturday we did a session at the Provo Temple before the extended family party at Heather's church building.

 Here are Lindsey, Sydney (Heidi's oldest daughter) Emilee, Heather, Kate and Polly - five of our daughters and Sydney - who came from college in Rexburg, ID.  It was lots of fun to be together.

Here are all our grandchildren who were there - Kyle holding Baden, Joel, Eli, Anna, Olivia, Keenyn, Isaac, Talus and Sydney holding Sadie - there were a couple of cousins also - Mitchells from Logan, Smiths from Spanish Fork , Smith's from Payson - wish more could have come. Yay for family parties!

Hello Big Sky Country

This week we will pack a U-Haul truck and head for Big Sky Country - Montana!  We are excited to begin our next adventure in Lewistown, MT.  Harold will be the director of Recreation Therapy in the Montana State Long Term Care Mental Facility.  We have rented a cute little 2 bedroom grandma and grandpa house and are looking forward to a cold snowy winter!  After living in the tropics for the last two years it will be nice to be good and cool - - and shovel snow!
