Taft Asay gets married

On Saturday November 2, 2019, Taft and Makinley are married. It was so wonderful to be able to attend the sealing and reception. What a great couple they are and we are so happy for them.

It was great to see Camron Wood and Tyler Carpenter at the sealing. Tyler has a brand new son, named Grayson, born just 3 weeks ago.

It was wonderful to meet Taft's mom, Eunice. What a gem she is. I enjoyed communicating with her on the mission and it was so wonderful to meet her in person. Taft's parents are as wonderful as I knew they would be. Such a pleasure to be part of it all.

Congratulations to Asher West and Sarina Song

We were blessed to be able to greet and congratulate Asher and Sarina West on Friday October 18th at their reception. This great couple will be moving to Australia soon and we were honored to meet their parents and see them at the very end of their reception before they took off.

Asher's parents came from Australia for the wedding. So fun to meet them. Sarina's parents came from Bulgaria. We wish them the best.

A London SAJM reunion!

I have been fortunate to spend a few days in London and able to connect with missionaries. I am sad that President Dunn was unable to accompany me, as he was finishing a business trip to France. He did FaceTime in as often as possible however.

I was able to travel out to the home of David and Jayd deKock Ryan and meet little River. It was splendid to see their home and go out to dinner.

My friend Serida Foss was so wonderful to accompany me and also host a lunch gathering for Zach and Amber Louw the next day. On Wednesday evening, October 16th, I met up with 3 missionaries at the Hyde Park Visitor's Center. What a treat to connect with returned missionaries that we love.

It made us reflect on each and every one of you and think about the special opportunity to serve together in a choice land. May you all feel of our love and most importantly the Savior's love for you. The gospel is not only a blessing for each of us to navigate this earthly life, but an eternal blessing for all that is ahead. We love you and loved being with such special people over the

Matthew Adams brought his cousin (who he baptized) and his girlfriend and also another friend from his ward. This group added to our meaningful connection.

We then went out to dinner at Nando's which was so fun and a little deja vu for all of us.

Meeting up with Jayd and David Ryan on Tuesday was also a huge highlight.

Meeting little River was so fun. Their house is darling.

last few days.
