Bountiful Hills Ward Relief Society Presidency

Susan Schmutz had a lovely brunch at her home to mark the end of three years of service together in the Bountiful Hills Ward Relief Society Presidency.  Susan has been an amazing President and it was such a privilege to serve as her counselor with Arlene Alvey as her other counselor.  Annette Newman and Elaine Parker have added great insight, experience and spirituality.  I will miss meeting often with each of them.

Juan Carlos Ochoa Markel is Ours

Chantel's family keeps growing.

We were all so excited that Juan has now been sealed to our family.

It's been many years coming.  We first meet him when he was a one year old.

I'm so glad Kim and Julie (and Tom) could be at the St. George Temple with us.

Autumn Happenings

Do you think Chase is proud of his new-to-him super nice Lexus?

I love the way the new plantation shutters look at our SG home.

It's always fun to have lunch with family, especially when we can eat outside.

Dave is presenting all over the U.S. so it is fun when he is home. 

How cute is this of our dear Ellie.

Emily makes learning the piano magical for all her students.

New Church History Museum

This place is fabulous.  I'm so glad I spent time here.  The opening film of Joseph Smith's First Vision is short, inspirational, and impressive. Not to be missed.

So glad this beautiful stained-glass window is still here.

The replications of historical sites were so well done.

I love this new painting of the young girl who so eagerly read the copy of 

the Book of Mormon Joseph Smith gave her.

The interactive exhibits were fun and very popular.

When I was there a new art exhibit was displayed.

So many of these paintings touched my heart.

This is my very favorite. I felt the Roman soldier finally realized 

the magnitude of what had happened at the crucifixion of the Savior of the World.

I was also glad that the displays for each of the Presidents of the Church are intact.

After the museum I enjoyed City Creek Center.

St. George Marathon

So proud of Chase and Mason - Marathon finishers!
