Third Sunday Dinner at Melissa and Jeff's

23 August 2020

    With the COVID virus requiring us to distance ourselves, even from those we love so much, Julie has not been holding her Third Sunday Dinners for the family. But now Melissa and Jeff have bought a huge, beautiful home with a ton of yard space so she decided to host it because we could spread out there.  

 

It made my heart so happy to see these family members. It was healing. 

I did not realize how much I really needed it.  Family is everything.

Kari's Moving Day

 22 August 2020

Kari and Kendyall sold their home. Kari and Cherie never really liked the house, but many good memories were made here. I loved that they lived close to us in Bountiful. Now Kari and Kendyall will live in Katelyn's basement apartment of the home she and Luke just bought in Orem. They will only stay there until things settle down and they are sure of their employment, then they will probably buy a house. I, of course, hope it will be close to us, but I worry they might settle in Utah County. 

Paige St. John Set Apart as a Missionary - Finally

Because of the coronavirus Paige did her MTC training online starting April 29th. Then she had to wait for an assignment in the United States as England is closed. Finally her assignment came and she could be set apart as a full-time missionary. She is so excited and she has such a sweet, strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are hopeful that at some future date she will be able to go to London to serve. 

Jazz Joins Cherie in Heaven

 5 June 2020

It was a sad but necessary day when Jazzmin had to be let go. She was a wonderful dog and I shall miss her almost as much as the St. Johns. Even after she had her left hind leg amputated necessitated by an automobile accident, she did well and was a great support to her family, especially Paige. Dogs are family.

Christmas Day 2019

We always feel so welcome at Kari's. Once again it was a fun time with him and Kendyall. It is so fun to have Jude there with Luke and Katelyn. Sawyer and Garrett came and the newly weds, Spencer and Shelby added to the fun. Of course we always love being with Paige and Hayden too. A very Merry Christmas indeed.  

Julie was at the Mott's cabin with Melissa and family having fun in the snow. We were invited but opted to stay in Bountiful. 

Paige's Mission Call

I could not be more thrilled to learn that Paige has such a choice mission assignment. She is a wonderful girl and will serve faithfully and well. The people who visit the Hyde Park Chapel will love her. She is joyful and caring. England is a brilliant place to serve and we are so happy and thankful for this call.

Julie's 3rd Sunday Dinners

The generosity of Julie and Tom to host these 3rd Sunday dinners is so appreciated.

It means everything to me that she gathers us and strengthens our family bonds.
