Missionary Week

Alma 53:20&21

20. They were all young men, and they were exceedingly valiant for courage, and also for strength and activity; but behold , this was not all- they were men who were true at all times in whatsoever thing they were entrusted.

21. Yea, they were men of truth and soberness, for they had been taught to keep the commandments of God and to walk uprightly before him.

 The Youth and Leaders had so much fun this year doing missionary week.

The Latu Family

The Latu family just recently moved into our ward.  We are Excited to have them as our neighbors.  When I asked them what there favorite vacation was the said the like to go to family reunions.  The Latu's have 11 kids the oldest is 30 and the youngest is 5.  Their favorite treats to make are cake and popcorn.  They are from the Islands and are very proud of their heritage.  It has been so nice to have their children in primary and mutual. They have really added to our youth.  We would just like to give them a warm welcome to our ward.

Tristina Bown

Tristina is our ward temple coordinator.  She loves that it is her obligation to get us to the temple.  She team teaches a class on family history and the temple with Brother Anderson.  Tris is always willing to help.  Whatever she is asked to do she puts her whole heart and really devotes her time to it.  

Tristina met bill on the front lawn of the house they live in now.  Bill was laying sod, and saw she was a good mormon girl and asked her out.  They both canceled dates so they could be with each other and have been together ever since.  

Tris, loves her grandkids, family, animals and the outdoors.  She also love homemade apple wheat pancakes with peanut butter.  She just got back from a vacation with her entire family.  She said "it was great to have all the kids and grandkids together."  They went to Florida and spent time at the beach and Sea World.  People say she is the dog whisperer.  Bill says "she has the gift of gab."

Something you might not know about Tristina is that she used to model and owned a modeling agency for 15-20 years.  They would do fashion shows at malls and all over.  

I hope we can all learn from Tristina and put our whole hearts into helping each other.  I challenge all of us to try a little harder to make it to the temple and do our family history.
