HELP NEEDED PLEASE!! 02 Nov 2009
Hello dear former missionaries,

my name is genesis Roque and I served in Anaheim 1996-1998. after reaching out to my bishop and other leaders in my stake I'm reaching out to each and everyone of you for the following situaion.

My nephew who lives in El Salvador has waited a full year to obtain his mission call, he's has been called to serve in the Quetzaltenango, Guatemala Mission, he is to be at the MTC in Guatemala on Dec 30,2009. My nephew lives in a stage of poverty along with his parents, he has worked as much as he could to but as little as 2 white shirts and a tie for his mission, he makes 5.00 per day working 16 hrs 7 days a week. the little that he makes goes to the family for their needs as well. I have helped him out as much as I can from here by paying for his medical, dental and any other exams he needed in order to send his papers in. he called me about 2 weeks ago to let me know he's received his calling and how excited he was and couldn't wait to get there. Now my dear brothers and sisters this is where I need some help and please do not feel obligated to help but only if that desire comes from your hearts, he told me the things that he needs for his mission, I mean you all know the entire list white shirts, socks, pants etc. he was concerned how he was going to get all that in order to depart, i told him not to worry about that but worry about preparing himself spiritualy and the lord was going to provide for him. I will be visiting him on Thanksgiving weekend with the purpose of taking him to the Guatemala temple to receive his endowments. the trip will be a 5-6 hour drive, none of his parents are active in the church and support him somewhat on his mission desires, I just feel that i can not do this alone, and that's why I'm asking for any help. I remember when I had the sincere burning desire to serve a mission and how the lord provided the means and way for me to go. I know the lord will bless you for your kindness and your sincere desires to help. if you would like to help please emaill me at groque@wcfgroup.com and i will be more then happy to respond.or get in touch with you.

Thanks so much,

Genesis Roque

Update on President McDonald from Elder Andrews 04 Aug 2006
I got this update from Elder Andrews on President McDonald. He is making amazing progress. Let's keep him in our prayers:

"I am pleased to report that Pres McDonald continues to make small improvements each week. He can now type and spends some time at the computer daily. He can walk (shuffle) with a walker for about 10 feet or so. He still has no feelings or response from the knees down but his upper body strength allows him to sit up by himself and move into a wheel chair unassisted. He has an incredible drive to improve and pushes
himself to the limit during twice daily therapy. I see him each Wednesday..."

Tamara Meza (Smith) 21 Sep 2005
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
I hope all of you are doing well. I think it is wonderful that we can keep in touch through this well-designed website. I am writing to inform you that our good friend in the Gospel, Sister Tamara Smith Meza, had a stroke on Sunday. The stroke was caused by a new tumor growing in her brain. As many of you know, Tamara was able to overcome a first tumor more than two years ago. She is in very delicate condition right now, and in need of much prayer and fasting. All of you who know her and served with her, please keep her and her family in your prayers and fasting.

Elder Reeve's Passing 17 Sep 2005
From the LDS Church News:


Saturday, September 10, 2005
LDS Church News

Elder Reeve succumbs

Elder Rex C. Reeve, emeritus General Authority, who served for more
than a decade as a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy, died July 18,
2005, in Salt Lake City. He was 90 years old.
Elder Reeve was sustained April 1, 1978, to the First Quorum of the
Seventy, and was granted emeritus status on Sept. 30, 1989 - among some
of the first General Authorities to receive emeritus status because of
"factors of age and health." (Please see Oct. 7, 1989, Church News.)
The son of Arthur H. and Mary Cropper Reeve, he was born in Hinckley,
Utah, on Nov. 23, 1914. In his boyhood and youth, he drove a hay wagon and
had a newspaper route. Growing up during the Depression, he saw the bank
come and take the family's sheep. "Since those days, I have had a healthy
respect for staying out of debt. I have never felt much like plunging," he
said at the time of his calling as a General Authority. (Please see May 6,
1978, Church News.)
On Feb. 19, 1937, he married Phyllis Mae Nielsen in the Salt Lake
Temple. They were the parents of seven children, 38 grandchildren, 59
great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren. Sister Reeve died
Oct. 11, 2001. Elder Reeve was employed by the Arden Sunfreeze Creameries,
later known as Meadow Gold Dairy. He worked with the company for 40 years.
A lifetime Scouter, who was one of the first Eagle Scouts in his county, he
served on the Greater Salt Lake Boy Scout Council and received the Silver
Beaver Award.
At the time of his calling as a General Authority, Elder Reeve was
serving as president of the California Anaheim Mission. Before that, he had
served for seven years as a regional representative. He was also a former
counselor in the Jordan River Utah Temple presidency, patriarch, stake
president, counselor in stake presidencies and bishop. As a General
Authority, he served as executive administrator of the British Isles and
South Africa, and as president of the North America Northeast, North
America Central and North America Northwest areas. He was also an assistant
executive director of the Temple Department.

Elder Brandon G. Thurber 15 Jun 2005
The following was a message I received from President and Sister Rasmussen.

Dear Missionaries:



It is with much regret that we inform you of the death of another of the 1999-2002 California Anaheim missionaries. Elder Brandon Thurber died Friday as a result of a motorcycle accident. We attended his funeral today and it was a very special occasion. His wife is a beautiful young woman and our love goes out to her.



We did not receive word of this accident until Sunday and were unable to get out notices before the funeral. However, several returned missionaries were in attendance. Below you will find his obituary and a newspaper report of the accident.



We love you missionaries so very much. Please be careful in all you do. May the Lord bless you always.



Much love.



President and Sister L. Neil Rasmussen



Motorcyclist dies in 12th St. crash

MARRIOTT-SLATERVILLE -- A West Haven man died Friday evening after his motorcycle collided with a car at the intersection of 12th Street and 1900 West.

Weber County Sheriff Lt. Jeff Malan said the man, who was in his mid-20s, was eastbound on 12th Street on a green light when he ran into a red Pontiac Grand Prix that was making a left turn to go south on 1900 West.

Malan said the man in the car said he saw the motorcycle, but thought he was going to turn.

The wreck happened at sunset, and Malan said the intersection has bad visibility at that time of day because of the angle of the setting sun.

The man in the Pontiac was shaken up, but not injured. The motorcyclist died at the scene. He was wearing a helmet.

Brandon G. Thurber
