Norm and Kay's Family

The most significant things that happen to us are family things. We also love Church history. Our mission, however, is a highlight in our lives. We were called to preside over the California Sacramento Mission in 1984. At the time, we had four unmarried sons, but only our youngest, Norm, and our dog, Stanley, accompanied us. California Sacramento was particularly meaningful to us, since we had been stationed there in 1962-1965, and two of our sons were born during that time.

We loved the work. We cherished our association with dedicated, valiant missionaries, and with the great Saints, from nineteen stakes, who supported our efforts. Happy and sad challenges occurred in our family during those three years, but we were carefully guided and directed. The marvelous work, however, went forth and enough people were baptized to populate a large stake of Zion. It has been our great privilege and blessing to be actively involved in the missionary program on a daily basis for more than twenty years. We are truly grateful for this and express our heartfelt thanks.
