The church recently announced that they are going to be re-combining the Toronto West and East Missions. The article did not say why, but they are creating five new missions in the world and re-aligning the boundaries of five others, including ours. The missions has split in 1993, the year before I went out. It will be interesting to see why they are combining them again now if they ever say why.

My little sister, Sister Miya Alger, is on a mission in Niagra Canada and she came across a
woman who wants to get in touch with the missionaries who baptized her back
in 1984. She has been searching for them for years and can't find them.
Her name is Linda Goodchild, but was Linda Stanbridge when she was baptized
July 12, 1984. The missionaries are Kelly Hatch from either Alberta or
Sescatuwan, CA. and Kent Chandler from Idaho.
If you are one of these men or you know how to get in touch with one or both of these men please let me know!!

Canada Toronto West Mission reunion for those who served under President Paul Sampson (1995-1998). Saturday July 10, 2010 in Park City, Utah from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. or possibly a little longer. The address is: 8246 Sunrise Loop, Park City, Utah.
Children are invited to come. Please bring a dessert to share if you would like to. We will not be providing any other food, as it is too hard to count on numbers and plan for that.
I'm working on an updated alumni directory for the Sampson's which will make things easier for notification of any future reunions should we have them. If you'd like to be included, please let me know.

We are still working on trying to get together a Sampson reunion this year. I was thinking either Saturday July 10th or Saturday July 17th in either the Salt Lake area or Park City, Utah. Any thoughts and/or ideas are welcome. I just know that two of the alumni will be visiting from Hawaii in July and would like to attend, so that's why I am thinking July. However, input from anyone would be helpful, and especially help in organizing/planning it.

President Satterthwaite has been found and he is planning a mission reunion at his winter home in Hurricane, Utah (by St. George). It will be on March 13 at noon. Bring your families and either a desert or a salad. It will be great to catch up with everyone and get away for the weekend! Please RSVP so we know how many people can make it. Call me at 435-817-6554 or email at udy21@hotmail.com. We look foward to see you!!

I wanted to check and see if there was any further development of a posible reunion with Pres. and Sis. Sampson? I would love to attend and would be happy to help in any way possible. Let me know.
Thanks

I would like to attend, but I am curious if you would be willing to open a Facebook group for "CTWM - Sampson" so we can network out to our old friends and organize it from there.

We are hoping to have a reunion with President and Sister Sampson. They are currently in Cyprus on a mission, but will be home any day now. They said if anyone wants a reunion and the alumni are willing to organize/plan it, then they'd like to have one. We are just getting a feel for the interest in a reunion and thoughts about a time/place.

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...
