It has been a blessing to serve with these most amazing and wonderful friends.

Our last Sunday at the U of U Institute Bldg where we have attended our Sunday meetings for the past
2 3/4 years.

Our journey has blessed us with 2 weddings...
Josh and Kelli in the Bountiful Temple...3/13/10
Matt and Hayley in the Salt Lake Temple...12/30/10

We have stood in Holy Places...

with Sister Elaine S. Dalton, General Young Women's President, as she spoke to our ward in the Bountiful Temple,  Martins Cove..."The Rescue Party" super activity...pulled handcarts and spent quiet and spiritual time in the "COVE" where the saints took refuge and many died trying to get to the Salt Lake Valley, General Relief Society Building...Presidents Room...with Sister Elaine S Dalton where is presented the women with "Gold Bracelets" and the men with "Gold Ties".  

We were invited to "Come Unto Christ",  complete the YW Virtue Value Experience along with reading the Book of Mormon in 3 months, Dare Mighty Things and the final challenge...to read the New Testament in 3 months ( I am on track to finish the day that Landon returns home from his mission).  

Landon accepted a call to serve 2 years in the Michigan Detroit Mission...he will return home June 1.  Megan has attended Relief Society since she was 15...her and I have enjoyed our time together...we will miss driving past the Temple every week.    

Kevin and I will cherish this time and opportunity that we have had to laugh together, cry together and serve together.  We have been uplifted and edified by these wonderful Young Single Adults.  Our testimonies have been strengthened, we have come to know our Savior in a more personal way and eternal friendships have been formed.

As this journey comes to an End we are grateful and will cherish every moment!
As Grandpa Peay would say
"BYE FOR NOW"

Today was a BIG day for JOSH...

He took his Radiology Boards and PASSED!

He will graduate on Friday with an Associates Degree from Weber State University.

Congratulations!

The second big event of the day was being honored at the Fruit Heights City Council Meeting tonight along with Bro. Lloyd for their lifesaving efforts on March 20, 2011.  While in Sunday School, a ward member, Brother Passey had a heart attack.  Josh jumped into action and began CPR until paramedics arrived.  He then assisted until they had him stable and  ready to transport.  The efforts of these 2 men allowed Brother Passey to have 2 more days on this earth and spend time with his family.

Josh we are so proud!

U32 Homestead Retreat...

 We had a super activity at the Homestead in Midway with our Young Single Adults.

 The Bishopic all stayed a large home where we gathered as a ward.  We also had 20 rooms at the Homestead where the YA's all stayed.  We enjoy a fun friday night BBQing hambergers and hot dogs, served w/ chips, fruit, drinks and yummy dessert.  Afterwards we had a program: Get to know the Bishopric and wives.  Then "Let the Games begin" we played games galore that were going on in every part of the house.  Kevin gave in at midnight, I caved in at 1am, Megan followed at about 1:30am and  most everyone else kept going until 3am.

Breakfast was served at 8:30am...and YES "ALL" were up and ready to eat Mountain Man Breakfast Burrittos!  Yummy!

After breakfast everyone broke into teams and then the digital scavenger hunt began.  When time was up, we then gathered to see view each teams pictures.  After compiling the scores a team winner was named.

It was a fun weekend.  We laughed a lot and enjoyed getting to know each ward member as we did!
