Holiday Lunch- BYU Dec. 4, 12-1 pm

For anyone that lives in the area, you are invited to gather together on Tuesday December 4, 2018 for lunch at BYU Broadcasting from 12-1 pm. Elder David A. Bednar is the BYU Devotional Speaker that day from 11:00-12:00 pm.  Following the devotional, a casual lunch will be served at BYU Broadcasting in the 3rd floor boardroom. Please RSVP and check in at the reception desk on the first floor.

As the holiday season is upon us, we send our love and greetings to each of you wherever this finds you.  It is hard to believe that all of us served in Johannesburg over the past 5 years time.  It still seems like a dream that we were able to have such an amazing and life altering experience.

We know that life has many decisions for you all in this decade of decision. We have had the pleasure of watching your life evolve and hearing from many of you since arriving home.

We are committed to offering events as we can and only wish we could see those of you that live further away.

Of all the blessings we are grateful for, we feel most thankful for our testimony of the restored gospel and our faith in Jesus Christ. Please keep in touch and give us some updates and know how blessed we feel to have served with you in the SAJM.

Layton Stake Conference-Nov. 17-18, 2018

On November 17-18, 2018 we were honored to be visitors at the Layton Utah Northridge Stake. The conference theme was Small and Simple Things-

President Macrum, President Larsen and President Miller with Elder Dunn to their right and two stake clerks to the left.

We knew this was the stake that Elder Nathan Quigley came from, but it was so wonderful to be reunited with him at our recent Layton Northridge Stake Conference assignment.

We were so delighted to get to visit with Nathan and his cute mom

 

President Macrum is a wonderful and committed Stake President. We love meeting  his dear parents and sister who is a wonderful artist. We were so honored to receive this beautiful watercolor of the SL temple.

SAJM Reunion -Oct. 2018

On Friday October 5, 2018 we hosted another SAJM reunion.  The first returned missionary through the door was Nick Harris. He has been home 3 years and is married and working full time. This is the first chance to see Nick since we arrived home over 18 months ago.  It is fun to revisit their missionary pages and remember what we shared there and where we are now.

Look on this link to see a slideshow put together by Sean Pickup. The slideshow has updates found on individual facebook pages. Really fun to see missionaries serving from 2014-2017 and from 32 different countries.
