March 2002

Aloha! After finishing my Spanish-speaking mission Xmas 2000, I flew straight back to Hawaii, where I continued my Int'l Business Mgmt degree at BYUH. I was home for six weeks, met this beautiful girl from Tacoma - we dated for 7 weeks and were engaged (trust me, I'm the last person who thought that would happen). We were married August 17, 2001 in the Seattle Temple. We're both going to finish our degrees April 2003, and I'll be starting law school that Fall, while she'll teach elementary school. Life's great. Especially when you can wear shorts and sandals every single day.

October 2003

Well, hello to every one again. Time sure does fly fast. I just wanted to update my family news. My wife Jeanie and I had our second boy Alex on April 2nd 2003 his brother Eric who is 2 1/2 now loves to play with his little brother. We are still leaving in Clinton Utah were I am currently working. I am excited about the mission reunion for the Oaks in October. I sure hope that everyone I know can make it, it should be a blast. Well, that’s about it for now I hope to hear from those who I served around.

Love,
 The Allmon Family

Its great to be able to keep in touch with all of you!  I just completed my Associates degree in Computer Information Systems (CIS) at the former Rick's College, soon to be known as BYU-Idaho.  I am now living in Mapleton, Ut. with my brother in Law David, and my sister Shannon Perez.  I am currently looking for a job in the computer field and I need a good job to help me pay off my car debt of $7000 + insurance.  I have already interviewed with a company my brother in law works for in Ogden called Legato, and I am praying I'll get the job.  If I do then all of my financial worries will be over!  If any of you know of any good jobs around, please e-mail me and let me know. I can already tell that the bills are piling up on me!  My first priority is to pay off my car loan and then I think I might give BYU a try with somewhat of a change in majors. I am considering switching from CIS to graphic design.  I hope and prey its the right thing, but then first things first. It would be great to hear from all of you so send me a line and I'll get one back to ya!  

Later,
Gary Allred

Life's been great!  I'm currently going to school and working as a Realtor. I see some of you at school, but for those that I don't see, drop some lines.  I miss the mission and I miss Seattle, but saving to go there on vacation.  If any of you need a home, let me know...

I was married to Alisha Bonewell (from Spokane) on May 12, 2000 (That is within 1 year of my release date) I received a two year degree from the LDS Business College and now I am attending the Salt Lake Community College. I work at the State capital doing Computer Based Training for the Finance department. Just last week I responded to my first name for the first time since I was released, now my wife doesn't have to call me "Elder" to get my attention. I am still wearing my missionary shoes.


Aaron Andersen
September 2003

Hi everyone! I was happy to have stumbled upon this website not long ago. I am currently in graduate school at Cornell University. There are
many old friends from the WSM with whom I've lost touch that I would love to hear from.


Shauna (Pitcher) Andersen
September 2001

Reading the profiles on this site makes me feel OLD! It's been a mighty long time since I served in the Great Washington Seattle Mission--but it remains one of the highlights of my life. The Hanks' are still some of my very favorite people.

A couple of years after returning from Seattle I met prince charming at BYU. Roger Andersen and I were married in December 1986 in the Salt Lake Temple. Shortly after that I graduated from BYU with a degree in business. We lived in the Bay area of California for about 8 years and are now living happily in Alpine, Utah. We have 4 busy children so my life is completely out of control. Jeffrey (12), Steven (10), Hayden (6) and Madeleine (3).

So life is good. We enjoy serving in our ward. I've spent most of my years in the Young Women's program which I love, but am embarking on a new career in Cub Scouts--nervous, very nervous.

Keep in touch!


Bryan Anderson

Elizabeth V. Armiento
April 2000

Hello Fellow Missionaries,
I was called to the Washington Seattle mission from august of 98 to February of 2000. I have many great memories of the members, investigators, and missionaries in all the areas that I served. I enjoyed being a Spanish Speaking sister missionary. I had wonderful leaders in all my areas, and I served with top quality missionaries. I'd like to thank all those that I served with and around in the mission. You have all blessed my life. Special thanks to President and Sister Larson. They are very dear to me and I will never forget them. I'm currently working on completing my elementary education credential, and then I will be working towards a PHD in education. I enjoy attending Institute classes at Cerritos College Institute as well as CalSate, LongBeach.  I love California and It's nice to be home. I miss everything about Seattle, except the rain of course. I served in the Northshore (covering N Seattle Stake, Lynwood Stake, and Shoreline Stake). I also served on Everett ( covering Everett Stake, and the surrounding area ). I had the best Trainer in the whole mission , Sister Skousen.  I will be for ever grateful to her. I'm also grateful for each one of my companions. They each have a special  place in my heart. Thank you all for serving with me and making the Washington Seattle Mission the experience  of a lifetime. I'd love to hear from all of you if you happen to read this message.

With Love
your Friend and Sister,
Elizabeth Armiento (Hermana Armiento)

Ryan Bailor
March 2002

Yeah, I'm still at home.  A little advice... Never take a semester off !!!  One semester turns into two, then maybe three.  Anyway, I'm now finally preparing to move back up to the Provo / Orem area to start back up at UVSC.  I'm still single and happy...  Someday the right one will come along.  Everyone needs to come to the next reunion!  I missed the last one and I'm really looking forward to seeing you all there, so go okay?

See y'all later...

Nearly 30 years has passed since those first missionary days. Now the baby in the family is 18 and my wife and I have started looking forward to the next mission when we can go together!


Kenneth Bawden
February 2004

I returned from Seattle Washington Mission, serving under President and Sister Hanks, in September 1982, so I've had a lot happen in my life since then...First, I met my beautiful wife, Lisa Larson, at a CEU branch one Sunday and after dating her for one week straight, we were engaged on June 30th and sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on September 9th, 1983...and seven years later we had six of our seven children here! Abram, our oldest is currently serving in the Dominican Republic Santo Domingo East Mission, he's loving it and has been out 6 months! Isaac, our 18 1/2 yr. old, is a senior at Emery High, and is graduating in May and plans to leave on his mission sometime in October 2004. Our third child, also a boy, Jacob, just turned 17 yrs. and is a very jubilant and happy 11th grader. Daniel, our fourth son, turned 16 yrs. old a week ago, and so now the car insurance is over $450 a month! Wow, teenage boys are the best, aren't they? Our last boy is an 8th grader at Canyon View and is 14 1/2 yrs. Ann, our only living daughter, is 13 yrs. and is in the 7th grade at Canyon View with her big bro, Sam, which she wishes sometimes was different! ha Our adopted baby from Haiti, who we never got to hold, but we definitely loved, Kendra Elisabeth, was born April 8, 2001 and before we could finish all the paper work to adopt her, she passed away on August 4, 2001. We were privileged to have her sealed to us on Dec. 21, 2001 in the Manti Temple, so we will strive to live worthy of raising her someday.
I've worked for Church Education Systems as a seminary teacher since 1989, and I love it! We have moved several times with CES and have enjoyed living in Price, Moab, Orem and Huntington. We have been in Huntington the longest time, going on 7 years, and have grown to love the area and people here very much. Lisa currently serves the sisters in our ward as 2nd Counselor in the Relief Society, and I am serving the good people of the Huntington 5th ward as first counselor in the Bishopric. My current assignment in CES is Principal of the Castle Dale Seminary, where I teach with three other men.
We are looking forward to the reunion coming up in April 2004! We have stayed in contact with the Hanks and love them very much. We're happy for their recent call to serve in the Palmyra New York Visitor Centers! We look forward to seeing them before they leave in April.


Matthew E. Beckstrand

I continue to study the gospel so that I can build on the spirit I was blessed with on my mission, though it has been hard, I know where, and how to find it.   I am a construction contractor, and an aspiring concert pianist and accompanist.


Bruce Bevan
August 2001

This month marks 17 years since I returned from my mission (WOW, 
it doesn't seem that long ago). I was one of those very few missionaries 
that was called on an 18 month mission. The areas I served in were: Sedro Wooley / South Tacoma & Fort Lewis / Federal Way & Kent / North Seattle / Issaquah & Renton. I would love to get in touch with anyone who might have served in those areas even if we didn't serve together. I think it's wonderful that there are now 3 missions where there was once 1 consisting of 160 missionaries. Since returning home I received a BA in Communications at BYU in 1987, also at BYU I met my wife Elizabeth and have been married for 15 years. We have 2 daughters ages 13 and 8. We have lived in Pasadena, California since 1989. I am currently working for The WB Television Network as a Video Editor for Network Promotions. 

Take Care, 

Bruce

I've been so grateful for the spiritual growth I received while in Seattle on my mission. I miss the associations I had there. Wish I could have found some of the near and dear ones, but I may be too old for this group! If any of you are there, I'd love to hear form you. I was married for 16 years and have 5 boys ages 18 - 8. I took them back home to Nauvoo last year, to see the temple. Incredible! I'm going back to nursing school! I live just north of Ogden, UT.

I am so glad we now have a site! All is going great! I married Steven Brown in Nov. of 92 and we now have three daughters, Ashley 7, Rachel 5, and Rebecca 6 months. We decided to sell our home in Las Vegas and move to Provo while my husband attends Law school. We like it here but look forward to going back to L.V. when we are through in 18 months.
I pretty much keep busy with my children and their schools, I also work part time as the Interart/ Hallmark rep in the Utah Valley, it is a pretty cushy job, since I get to pick my own hrs and days.
I have so many great memories of the time I served in Seattle. My only regret is that I have lost track of some great companions, so I hope through this site we can touch base again. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to serve a mission there are so many of you, I have great memories of, that taught me so much! I would love to hear from any that served at the same time.

Sean Burgess
January 2001

I was able to serve in Redmond, WA the last 5 weeks of my mission. It was there that I met my wife to be. We started dating when I had about
a week left...Just kidding! I ended up moving back to Seattle shortly after going back home to Salt Lake. I started dating Becki Snow from Redmond  the day I moved back to Seattle and we were married 5 months later in November of 1994. We have lived in the Bellevue area our entire 6 years of marriage.  I now have a 3-1/2 year old daughter Kendall and a 10 month old son Dawson. We also recently found out that we are going to have another here in July. I currently work for Graybar Electric Company here in Bellevue. They are a distributor of telecommunications products and I am in charge of Fiber Optic Cable allocation for the west coast. I have been there for a few years and it seems as though I will be there for some time. I attended Bellevue Community College for some time but never did finish. Hopefully someday.
I have to say I love Seattle. I loved my mission. The people of this area are such good people, I can't say that I left with no regrets but I am being given ample chances to make up for mistakes that I might have made, as I am currently serving my 3rd Stake Mission since coming home.
I was sure excited to find this site and read the bios of fellow Elders and remember the days. I actually attend The Newport ward now and we meet in the chapel where transfers were held.  It seems so hard to believe that it was 8 years ago that I came out. Life has been good though. I hope that this finds all of you alumni strong in the faith.  Please contact me if you wish. My wife is getting sick of hearing about all of my mission stories so it would be nice to share them with somebody who was there with me.

I didn't see too many listed who served only with President Snow, so I thought I'd better ante up.

I am working for the Department of Energy Office of Inspector in General in Idaho Falls as an auditor. I have been here for a year and love my job. But I will be giving up my job in August and moving to Florida after I am married to Raymond Walden in the Salt Lake Temple on August 22. He works for the Air National Guard in Panama City, FL and that is where we will be making our home. I will hopefully be a homemaker for the time being and work on my book. I have already fallen in love with the beaches back there (white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico) and I see it as a way of continuing my mission being so far away from my family. I have been trying to locate some lost mission companions and buddies so that I could share with them the good news.
Currently, I am the beehive advisor in my ward. I am really going to miss that calling and the five wonderful girls in my class. Next to a mission I think it is the best calling in the church.
As a few of you may recall I did enjoy crocheting and have now taking up knitting and sewing as well. And for some reason I got it in my mind that I can sew my own wedding dress. I am happy to report that it is turning out quite well and should be done before the wedding.
I hope to locate more of you through the website in the future.

After returning home from my mission I began the arduous task of a secondary education.  I graduated from the University of Utah and promptly began law school at Gonzaga University in Spokane WA. I met my wife in the singles ward and we were married the summer of 1999.  After finishing school I took the Washington state bar exam and am currently attending the University of Washington tax program at the law school here.  We live adjacent to the Factoria building (the place for
transfers).  We have not started a family as of yet, but it won't be much longer.  We love living in the Seattle area and find plenty to keep us busy.  We are not sure how much longer we will be living here, my wife wants a warmer climate.

Hola amigos! I'm chillin' back in the great "corny" state of Iowa and have been enjoying myself. I am currently attending Iowa State Univ. and am majoring in Spanish, 2nd Ed., ESL, and minoring in Anthropology. I am living back at home because of hard living with a roomie and medical probs. All is well now though, and am excited about this new year, 2003. I will probably have 2 CDs coming out this year, one with mission memoir songs, and another of opera arias and songs from my parents generation (Edith Piaf, Charles Aznavour, the Platters, etc.) Let me know if you are interested to own one. I hope to be traveling to Seattle for spring break (March 14th-21st). If anyone is interested to share the excitement with me...let me know. I miss everyone so much and wished that we all lived closer to each other and the people that touched our lives. Peace out!
Love- Ronnie Ron, AKA Hna. Tigre

John Hanson

I was just looking through my missionary journal and reminiscing and thought it would be cool to see the old mission website.  It looks great.  I have been married for almost two years right now.  My wife Sherry and I got married Sept. 1, 2001 in the St. Paul MN temple.  My wife had a daughter from a previous relationship, and I legally adopted her in March of 2002 and then she was sealed to us in June of that year.  It sounds kind of unorthodox, but it has worked really well for us.  Both my wife and I are seniors at Winona State University in Minnesota.  We are both majoring in Special Education/Learning Disabilities and loving it.  It's great to see so many letters from past friends on there. 

Take care and God bless.

Mike Holman

I enjoyed my mission serving in the international zone as a Chinese speaking missionary. After my mission, I returned to BYU in Hawaii to finish my degree there. I put my language to use by traveling to the orient every summer until I graduated (taught English in Taiwan and Hong Kong). Great times!! After graduating, I married someone I met while at BYU-HC. She brought me back down to the ground and we settled in Los Angeles for a few years. We had our first baby and decided to move to Colorado to live by family. We have been living here in the Denver area since then. My wife and I have three kids and are very happy. My memories of my mission often remind me of the great friends I made there. I was not very good at keeping up with letters, so if there are any of you out there that would like to chat now and then about our old missionary days and catch up on life, I would love to hear from you.

April 2002

Hey everybody! Well here I am, back in the "real world" and I must say I'm very mission sick. I've been home a little over a month now and have already been back to Washington to visit for a week (and if anybody needs a traveling buddy I'd be happy to go back again.) As of right now I'm just relaxing a little until school starts. This May I'll be at Weber State. I'm interested in the Pre Med. program there and can't wait to get back to school. I currently live in Sunset Utah with my folks (of course) and have no job or girlfriend (which is nice, less things to worry about) and that's about it for now, amazing life huh? 

Later,

I loved serving in Seattle.  I miss my mission often.  It was a wonderful experience.  I returned home in September of 99 and started dating my friend since 5th grade Eric Hunter.  We fell in love and were married last August 2000.   It is so much fun to be in love and know that it will last forever.  My sweet husband attends BYU and will graduate next April.  I am working for a Retina specialist here in town.  It is fascinating to learn so much about the eye.  So, Eat Your Carrots!  The doctor work for used to be partners with President Oaks, so my mission helped me land this job!

Hey there,

Thought that I would let those of you who might care know what is going on in my neck of the woods. My wife Lindsay and I have been married since Dec of 99. We lived in Ogden for a time attending school, where my wife graduated with her degree. We moved back to Lyman, Wy in 2002 where we both grew up. We had a little girl in November of 2002. Her name is Emma, and she brings us so much joy. We just bought a house and are busy remodeling. I am attending school still, after a break due to some bad health. I am enrolled in an outreach program here in the valley that is allowing me to finish my secondary education degree without leaving Lyman. I am working for a local trucking company as a Dispatch/Sales rep. We specialize in moving ship line container freight across the 48. Pretty eventful and crazy dealing with the truckers of the country. I also coach basketball for the High School that I attended on the side. Basically we are just having  fun living life in a place that we love. I think of many of you often and hope that we might see one another again someday. Good luck and have fun.

Carl Johnson
January 2002

I was spanish speaking, served from Nov 1976 to Nov 1978 under Pres. Stapley and Pres. McKoy. The mission was divided and the last part I was in the Spokane Mission. My companions were Elders Raban, Nielson, Anderson, Montgomery, Saxey, Staker, Richards, Gardner, and Ringer. 
I'm on my 3rd marriage due to cancer, etc. We have a total of 13 or 14 children(yours, mine, theirs, doesn't matter, we love 'em all)-8 still at home. You should see Christmas around here. We got everyone rollerblades. Now, that's a sight! This includes a set of twins and a set of triplets. We have 2 grandchildren. My oldest son served a mission to Taiwan and my oldest step-son to South Africa, there are 2 in the army. I am working full-time and a full-time student in school-again! My wife Karen is a school teacher, serves on the national board of the Triplet Connection, and was just set apart as the ward R.S. Pres. (We do say Hi in passing). She served in the California Ventura (Deaf) Mission. 
Even though we've both been through a lot of pain and heartache as members of the Dead Spouse Society, we feel that we have been extremely blessed and are being watched over. We are not proud and do accept any and all prayers in our behalf.

It's odd to think that it's been ten years since I was serving in Seattle. My wife Emily and I are living in Draper, Utah.  Emily and I have a little boy, who is almost eight months now.  It's amazing how much excitement one little guy can generate.  I have been a scoutmaster for over a year.  I enjoy working with the young men; they are full of energy and silliness. The calling gives me an opportunity, or excuse, to do a little camping every month.  Please feel free to contact me or stop by if you are in the Salt Lake area.

Oh my heck... Well what to tell you I  am so excited that I found this page and have read some fun things about some of my favorite missionaries. 1994 seems so far away and Such a long time ago. well I went home after my mission to Pennsylvania and found I was not happy back east and off to Rick's college for my degree... some one should have warned me about Ricks. I spent 4 years and got two degrees.. my first degree was in Teaching and then the Second was in Culinary Arts. IE Chef in my e-mail name. I left Ricks with a sad tear in my eye, loosing my soon to be wife in a car accident, and I moved back to Seattle in the Summer of 98 and have been living here since. I continued my education here in Seattle at the Art Institute of Seattle in the Culinary Field. I am employed now as a manager in a floral shop for Safeway, making a very nice living. I still support the missionaries here in Seattle by feeding them almost every Sunday.  I love the missionary work. I attend the University 1st Ward, North Seattle Stake, and have enjoyed many callings there. I am happy and still looking for my wife. If anyone has any leads for me let me know.  I just want to leave you know that many of my fellow companions helped me in more ways then you will ever know.

Been married to my wife Ann (Robison) of Corona Del Mar for almost 12 years now. We have three children - Madeline (8), Alexander (5), and Mary Jane (2). I am currently serving in the Young Men's Presidency and Ann is Primary President. We see each other occasionally at Church functions. I am a partner in a private equities firm that specializes in commercial real estate and hotel investments. We recently moved to our dream house (in a few years of improvements) in Montecito, an area just south of Santa Barbara. We are both very active in the Santa Barbara Community, I am on the board of the United Boys and Girls Clubs and Santa Barbara Athletic Roundtable, while Ann serves on the board of the Junior League of Santa Barbara. I still like to have lots of fun in life and work hard so that I can play harder. Ann and I are both graduates of BYU and I received an MBA from Pepperdine. We are both very active and enjoy going to the beach during the summer (come visit!) and playing various sports. Ann has become an incredible triathlete, while I come in a distant second (she has a better bike!). We still keep in touch with Elders Merrill, Brim, Yamane, and Middletone, and I spoke recently to President Bradshaw's brother who served as my youngest brother's mission president in Tallahassee, FL. Life is good and we are very blessed. Hope to hear from some of the old mission buddies throughout the years to come! Good times.

?Como estamos? Just got back from the Seattle mission 2 months ago in December 2002. Studying Biochemistry here at BYU to go to medical school. Loving life and the gospel. President Hinckley and the missionaries in the Seattle mission right now are full of faith, a vision of our brothers and sisters in white. I am missing the mission, but am trying to figure out how to go about the next mission in life.
I served Spanish-speaking in Mt.Vernon, Bellevue, Seattle 4th, Renton, Kent, Seattle Southwest. The work is going great, many people are making great progress, going through the temple. The church is true. Email me if you know any info. about the people, etc... in those areas where I served.

Hey What's up,
Well I am attending school at UVSC going for my bachelors in Criminal Justice. I am also working as a computer technician at a place called Propeller inc. I had a great time serving in the Washington Seattle mission, but I would have to say that the best place to serve is on Whidbey Island. I had very good companions and we had a lot of fun.

Thanks

Well I am currently living with and helping take care of my grandmother and going to school at The Great Basin College campus in Ely, NV.
I work as an Archaeological  Aid. Most of all I realize know how hard it is to come home from a mission. These last months that I have not had that mantle have been rough. I find myself wishing that I could go back to that wonderful way of life. I know that I can't but I will forever love the opportunity that I had to serve in the Greatest mission in the world. The Washington Seattle Mission.

I have been married now for 1 1/2 years and am enjoying it. My wife and I are purchasing a condo in Pleasant Grove, UT. I attended about a year of school at UVSC while working as a computer programmer before dropping out of school. I have contemplated going back, but can't quite get myself to do it. 
This summer, I was able to return to Seattle. My wife and I drove from Utah. It was great visiting all the sights without having to worry about area boundaries. So much has changed up there yet so much is the same. Unfortunately, we picked a week when the weather was beautiful, so now my wife thinks that is how the weather always is.
If anybody is in the area, drop me a line. My number should be in the phone book. You can also check out my homepage : my-family.us

I too have wonderful memories from the years serving, beginning in 1973 in the Washington Mission which later became the Washington Seattle Mission, with fine companions, many other missionaries and Washingtonians. I often think about the many of you I met and worked with and would love to renew acquaintences. I live in Farmington UT and am listed in the phone book. I have been married to the same wonderful women for 28 years (she waited for me), have four daughters (three married--one by Pres. Stapley in AZ temple, youngest now serving a mission in Chile Santiago North) and six grandchildren. I would like to determine interest and feasibility to start holding Raymond Price-Washington Mission reunions and D. Thomas Stapley-Washington Seattle Mission reunions here is the Salt Lake area periodically. If not suffient interest, I would still like to catch up on all that I served with, met and got to know. My companions were Elders Wayne Airmet, James Crosby, Arthur Gibby, Dave Ross, Paul Gardner, Kenneth Rials, Richard Mackey (twice), Monrow Peddie, Robert Gavilan, Art Lofgreen, John Horsley, Richard Oborn, Steven Skabelund, and Don Hendrickson.

Terry Shaw
April 2004

Although the majority of my mission was spent in the WA Tacoma Mission (I was reassigned from the Seattle Mission to the Tacoma Mission when it was formed in July of 1990), my time spent in the Seattle Mission was highly memorable and a huge part of my mission experience. The only area I served in was the Redmond/Carnation area. My companions were Elder Brett Davis (my trainer) and Elder Russell Sorensen. A couple of the missionaries whom I remember most serving with (not as companions) were Elders Chad Kraykovic and Jeff Zlotnik. We had some pretty good times together. (I'd love to hear from them!) Another missionary that had a great influence on me was Elder Hutto, my first district leader. What more can be said for President and Sister Cutler other than they were awesome! After my mission I was able to return to Redmond and go through the temple with Jack Evans, a great man who was baptized after I left the area. I have lost touch with him and his wife Margerite. If any of you may have info on where he is now, I would really appreciate hearing from you. As for my life now, I work as a communications supervisor and emergency planner for a large 911 dispatch center in the Salt Lake area of Utah.

I married Mark Vasicek 5 months after coming off the mission. Yes, he's the one I wrote for four years... We've lived 6 years in Texas (his home state), 6 years in Chicago area and now going on 8 years in Western Massachusetts--always the mission field! It's hard letting go of these teenagers we're raising but we're gritting our teeth and doing it anyway. Joe had the opportunity to travel to Italy last summer; Kate will study in France for her junior year in high school. Sarah and Dot, 14 and 12, round off our quartet. Looks like Joe may be in the MTC next summer... I teach art to elementary school students...Mark works for a Swedish-based plastics corporation, engineer. We live in the heart of early church history sites, between Sharon, VT and Palmyra, NY. Look us up! Teaching youth in early morning seminary and Sunday School gives me a "rush" of mission memories and seeing the Hanks this summer was a big deal for me after all these years! What's new with you?

School has finally come to an end. I am a dentist in the Navy (I owe 4 years of payback) stationed at Great Lakes, IL.  My wife Heather and I are expecting our first child in a few weeks (Nov 28,2002).  It's a boy!!

I served in the mission between 1980 - 1982. I arrived in the mission the day after Mount St Helens blew up. At the time I was the only one from New Zealand in the Mission. I would love to hear from anyone that remembers and old "Kiwi from down under" between those years.

Regards,

Shortly, after I came home from my mission (early) I met my husband. Our courtship lasted a year. After being engaged for 3 months, we were sealed in the Oakland temple in September of 1998. I graduated from BYU a semester after being married. Not long after our first year anniversary, we had a son born to us. We named him Grant Taylor Wilkinson. Sixteen months following his birth, we had another son born to us. His name is Tyler Nicholas Wilkinson. Currently, we are discovering the joys and challenges of parenthood.

Hey Guys,
It's been a while since my last post so I thought I would make an update. I have moved back to the Washington area and loving it. I couldn't stay away and I was homesick for the Northwest. I live in Bellevue and work at Classmates Online in Renton.
I also spent two years at Ricks/BYU-Idaho where I had the wonderful experience of being the 2001-2002 BYU-Idaho Men's Choir President.
I am not married yet but we will have to see what the future brings.

Send me a line if you remember who I am. I would like to hear from you.

Glad to see that there's finally a web page.  Life @ Disneyland has never been better.  I lasted a full six months after my mission until I got married.  Six years and 2 1/2 kids later, (my wife is expecting), here we are still at the happiest place on earth.

For those who remember me, I went home with knee problems.  We still don't know what's wrong!!  I'm getting married on May 22, 2001 to Mary Soutar. We'll move to Arizona in June and I start school in July for Computer Animation.
