Hi,
I am going back to the Mission after 23 years.... I am thrilled. We leave May 7th for a 17 day trip and so will be visiting the Wards I served in and looking up some names from the past. I feel so blessed to have this opportunity, because I live in the U.K I never thought I would go back.....
I am so excited I just wanted to let everyone know !

Dear Friends,
Like Daniel Goodrich's wife, I too am looking for memories about my wonderful husband. He passed away on August 26th, 2007, having been diagnosed with cancer two months previous. We have one daughter born in January of the same year 2007, and I would love any stories or simple memories anyone would have of James. Our daughter Emily obviously will love to know all about her daddy, so we would appreciate if you would send them to us at: jamesgirls@verizon.net
Thank you so much.
Best wishes,
Allyson J. Fleugel

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..."

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.

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.

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.

Interested Sisters and Elders from the Grant era:
I, Tracie Grant Finley, have posted some pictures from the recent reunion. If I have mislabeled any, kindly let me know (and please forgive any errors). President and Sister Grant knew everyone at the reunion, and could probably label the pictures better, but the pictures reside on my computer. :) President Grant had a wonderful time chatting with each former Elder and Sister. We hope everyone else enjoyed things as much as the Grant family did! Thanks for your efforts-- especially Elder Calder.

From President McDonald:
Sister Shelly Barton [Anaheim Mission 1996-1997] passed away October 15, 2004 from complications associated with cancer [Myasthenia Gravis]. Shelly will be remembered by all who served with her for her cheerful disposition, her love of others, and her testimony and love of the Lord. During a relatively short time in mortality, she accomplished many things and had a far reaching influence for good.
Shelly Ann Barton was born 28 September 1975 in Ontario, Malheur, Oregon. Her parents are A. Lynn Barton and Georganna Kay Wynn Barton. Shelly was raised on a farm near Ontario, Oregon and is the third of five children (three brothers, Chad, Alan and Tyler and one sister, Jenny).
Shelly graduated from Ontario High School in 1993 and entered BYU the same year. She attended BYU for three years and then served a mission in Anaheim, California for eighteen months. After returning from her mission she completed the requirements for a bachelor’s degree in speech pathology.
Shelly was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis a short time after completing her mission. She had surgery to remove her thymus gland, only to find it was malignant. Chemotherapy stabilized her condition, but two years later it returned. Shelly has seen miracles in her life through the power of the Priesthood and much fasting and prayer.
In the spring of 2002, Shelly moved to the Portland, Oregon area where she
obtained a job and planned to work part-time on a master’s degree in speech pathology. However, the cancer returned again and required additional radiation treatments. Although Shelly always tried to appear healthy and active, her health and strength slowly declined. However, she was never one to complain about her problems and remained stalwart and faithful.
During the past few months, she became gravely ill with a respiratory problem, was in and out of the hospital several times, and on 15 October 2004 she passed away after being in intensive care for about two weeks.
Those who know Shelly remember her as being without guile, happy, loving family and friends, a hard worker, organized, kind, and thoughtful. Shelly had the ability to find a silver lining in the most difficult circumstances. She loved her Savior and studied his teachings every day. Shelly has set an example and legacy of love which edified all who knew her.
Those who would like to share special memories of Shelly can send them to Shelly’s parents at 811 Northwest Park Blvd, Ontario, Oregon, 97914 or to President McDonald (James_McDonald@BYU.edu) and he will compile and forward them.
