For those of you who do not yet know, Elder Jeremy Kunz passed away on Saturday October 10, 2009. Sadly Jeremy was killed by a drunk driver while he was participating in a Ragnar Relay Race in Las Vegas, Nevada. Elder Kunz served under President Sampson from 1994-1996. Jeremy was married and had three children. I grew up just a few miles from him, and I attended his viewing last week. His family has amazing strength. They appreciate all of the thoughts and prayers of all of those in their behalf. We have created a facebook group in Jeremy's memory: "In Memory of Jeremy Kunz", if any of you wish to join the group and share your thoughts.
These are the areas Elder Kunz served in while on his mission:
Hamilton (1 month), Windsor (2 months), Newmarket (2 months), Windsor (again, 5 months), London (5 months), and Brampton (rest of his mission)

We had a terrific reunion with the Potters' this summer and are updating the alumni contact list. There are still some alumni we have not been able to find or get in contact with. Any help in that area would be appreciated. It will greatly aid whomever my organize a future reunion(s).

*UPDATE* As of a couple of months ago, I have now found Sister Jensen.
I am looking for Sister Amie Jensen who served under President Potter and President Sampson about 1995-1996. We were companions in Bracebridge and Fort Erie, but lost touch years ago. Amie grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona, and I know she married a guy named Michael Ballard and lived in Utah for a while. Will anyone please help?!

We are having a President Potter era reunion next month (1992-1995). We've found about 70% of the alumni now, but still need everyones help finding the others. Please update your profiles on here if you haven't done so in a while. This will greatly help us. If you don't know the reunion information yet, please e-mail me so I can get it to you.

We are hoping to have a Potter era reunion this summer at a park in the Salt Lake area. We are thinking about Sat. June 20th as a possible date. We are still trying to find many of the alumni, so if you know where any are, please pass this information on. We can also be contacted through ctwm9295@gmail.com and that way we can get alumni on the list to notify them.

We had a wonderful mission reunion on Friday night (Oct. 3rd), with President and Sister Potter. It was held at their home in Park City, Utah. It was great to see them again, as well as those who attended. We had about 22-25 people come (spouses included in that number) and I was able to get some great pictures of those attending along with a nice group picture.
We have lost track of many of the missionaries, so if you could please update your profiles on here or e-mail us current information, we'd appreciate it. Sister Potter wants to have a picnic reunion in the summer of 2009 at a park in the Salt Lake City area and we hope to find many more of the missionaries by then so we can have a larger turnout. The Potters', as well as several in attendance at our reunion on Friday asked if I knew where some of you were, and unfortunately I do not. The Potters' really want to find a number of you. I had sent out snail mail invitations to the reunion, as well as e-mail notices and notices on several internet sites including www.ksl.com and Deseret News online and others. This site, ldsmissions.net and facebook.com have groups or sites for alumni for our mission.
The Potters' are doing really well. They work at the Salt Lake Temple twice a week. President Potter is a sealer there on Tuesdays and then on Thursdays they are ordinance workers.

We are hoping to pull together a reunion with the Potters soon. They live in Park City, Utah, and said we could have one at their home if we'd like, but they will go wherever we go. They would like us to pick a date and such. Any ideas? Would the Friday before Conference work for anyone, and how would anyone feel about doing it in Park City at the Potters' home?

Sad news: Elder Brian Bayless from our mission (1994'ish time) has died in a tragic airplane crash near Monticello, Utah this morning. I am attaching the link to the new story from the internet. I remember Elder Bayless when he first arrived in the mission field, and although I didn't know him well, my heart goes out to his family, friends, mission companions and members/investigators in the mission field. Please keep his family in your prayers.

While serving in the CTWM from '97 to '99 there was a tape being distributed among the missionaries. It was a talk given by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland about the Book of Mormon. It was supposed to be a recording made from a mission presidents seminar.
After lending out my copy of this talk and not having it returned, I have been frantically looking for this talk. I would love to hear it again.
If any of you have a copy of this tape, please let me know. I could easily put it on a CD or in another Digital Format f needed. I know that other people have had it because other returned missionaries at USU had heard the tape, too.
For those missionaries who served in the Sudbury Stake, I have the tape recording of the talks given by President Thomas S. Monson during the organization of the Sudbury Stake in 1993. The tape was given the name "A Canadian Missionary" and President Monson spends a great deal of time reminiscing about his days as a mission president and especially the missionaries that served with him.
If any one would like a copy of this, I have it in mp3 form and will gladly make it available.
If you have the talk by Elder Holland or want a copy of President Monson's talk please send me an email.
Thank you

If anyone would be interested in having a mission reunion with President and Sister Potter, please e-mail me. There are several who are interested and we'd love to have one. I am willing to talk to the Potters' about it.

Just curious to know how many of you who served under the Potters' would be interested in having a reunion? I've heard several express interest, and I'd like to have one myself. The Potters' recently returned from presiding over the Hill Cumorah Visitors Center for two years. I've written back and forth with Sister Potter a few times and she has also expressed interest in a reunion. It would be wonderful.

Unoffical and Informal Reunion for CTWMers (expecially Sampson and Satterthwaite eras)... We are going to be meeting for a little "catch-up" in between the Saturday Afternoon session and the Priesthood session. Elders Camron Howell and Brent Slade are bringing their families to Conference and would love a chance to get to see all of you again. Please pass the word on by email and phone calls so that we can get as many as we can. We are meeting on the "WEST" side of the Reflection Pond directly between the Water and the Temple. Camron's cell is (480) 326-8665 or email camhowell@juno.com to let us know who will be able to make it. Remember, nobody remembers anybodys first name (or last for that matter) so be sure to introduce yourself as soon as you make eye contact. Hope to see you then...

Trudy was in the Kitchner ward and always had missionaries in her home. I am sure everyone who knew her would
want to know about her loss. They can leave messages for her family at this
site.
Thank you, Lydia Holt

President and Sister Potter continue to serve as directors of the Hill Cumorah Visitor's Center in Palmyra, New York. They have about a year left in their service and are doing quite well. I received a nice letter from Sister Potter after Christmas.

I just got a Christmas letter from President and Sister Sampson. They are doing well. They live in Washington, Utah (a suburb of St. George). They will soon be leaving on another mission for 23 months. They've been called to serve in the Greece Athens Mission. They depart on March 5th. Sister Sampson said that they will be assigned to an area in Northern Greece called Thessoloniki (the place where Paul made some of his journeys in the New Testament). She went on to say that "now, another Paul will make his presence known there", speaking of President Paul Sampson.

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great holiday season. I've updated my profile and hope to hear from those of you I know. I only have one question: When is the next reunion for the Sampson or Satterthwaite eras?
|

Goodness...Bro. and Sis. Westfall are already parents! That means they had to be expecting when I saw them at my "promoting" temple session. That guy was never one to waste time...completely effective. Way to go, and congratulations!

My name is Carlo Caroli. I served in the Canada Toronto Mission from
January 1979 to September 1979. The rest of the mission was served in the
Nashville, Tennessee Mission. While in the Toronto Canada Mission, I was
the only Italian native missionary in the whole mission. I would like to
know if you could help me locate my very best missionary companion that
served with me while in the down town area of Toronto. His name was Elder
Gordon Greer and we served together in the summer of 1979. At the time
that president Kimball came to visit the mission.
He was the greatest companion I ever had and I tried for so long to get in
touch with him. All I know is that he is from Provo, Utah and friends with
another elder Johnson, related to the former Cougars Coach, LaValle. I
have been to Provo several times over the past years and was anable to
locate him. Can you help? Thank you very much for all the assistance you
can provide me.
Ciao from Carlo in Missouri.

Hi:
Elder Westfall (spelling?) returned to visit the Toronto West Mission. He was at my ward on Sunday, July 23/2006 in Newmarket. He was there because President and Sister Ashton were speaking in my ward and Elder Westfall is their son-in-law. Elder Westfall was there with his wife and new baby. They looked fine. They are now living in Orem, Utah. Elder Westfall never served in my ward but he was in my Stake-Brampton. He also visited my ward a few times when he was a missionary.

Just wanted to let anyone know who is interested, that President and Sister Potter are now serving in Palmyra for two years. President Potter was called to be the Cumorah Visitor's Center director, I believe. They left in early January for their assignment and I have their address there if anyone would like it. You can just e-mail me if you'd like that information. They are doing well and were sad that they missed the small reunion some of us had last October. Sister Potter would like to have one when they return, so hopefully we can.

Hi, I'm trying to track down an elder that served in London back in the day. His name is David Hampton and at the time he was companions with DJ Seidel. I was a sister that served with these elders. Anyway, Elder Seidel and his wife are now in my ward and I was thinking to myself the other day, what ever happened to Elder Hampton? If anyone knows, or David if you're reading this, drop me a line at chandrae1027@yahoo.ca. It would be great to hear what he's been up to.
