Hey, anyone out there remember me? I was involved a bit with balanced effort before I got Married to the wonderful Maria (Sheridan) in 2000. Just recently Maria and I were sealed in the Preston Temple - it was the bestest moment ever. So now I have an Eternal Companion and together with my Step-Daughter, Rebekah, I have a wonderful family. We will be visiting Arkansas, Utah, Idaho, California and other places this August 2007 during a month-long vacation, so if anyone wants to meet up, drop me an email (tony.gillings@euphony.com). Look forward to seeing you:)

Hi-
Does anyone know or know how to contact Linda Beatty? Her family was in the Cavehill Ward in the Belfast Stake while I was in Ireland from '94-'96. I believe her husband's name is Garth and I think he was in the Stake Presidency. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!

The dates for the reunion are confirmed. We have observed an increase in airfare in the last year. We have found price in the $950.00 dollar range from Salt Lake for the weeks around the reunion. That’s airfare plus taxes and fees. The pieces could go down if oil prices continue to go down. Or they could go up if they go back up. The advice I have been given from my travel agent is to keep close tabs on prices by searching web fares. But the best time to buy in 4 to 6 months out. He says that often there are sells around Christmas as people give them as Christmas presents. Search well and search often. Know what the prices are and if you see a dip….buy them.

I wish words could convey the feelings and experiences I had when I returned to Dublin in September 2005 for the “Coming Home to Ireland Reunion. Twenty-five years had passed since I’d last seen my friends in Ireland and I was touched to see how many of them had remained faithful. I was impressed by their strength and their testimonies.
Keep in mind that this was not a reunion in which I knew everyone. Far from it. There were elders who’d served 10 years before my time and 20 years after my time. There were members who’d been in the church since the late 1960s and others who’d only recently joined. But we all shared a wonderful and common bond. We were all closely tied to the country, the people, and the church.
I attended the reunion my first day there, meeting missionaries and members, sharing testimonies and tears. The second day I visited members who hadn’t made it to the reunion and had wonderful visits. The third day was an astounding Stake Conference. I then had eight days of travel plans. But in all honesty, I could have gone home after those first three days feeling absolutely satisfied. Just the opportunity to mingle with the saints once again was a fulfilling and overwhelming experience.
At the Dublin Stake Conference, I watched a children’s choir sing, “Heavenly Father are Your Really There.” What a touching thing it was to witness all these kids, some of whom were third generation members. As they sang, I realized I was witnessing the future of the church in Ireland.
Another wonderful sight at the conference was a choir that sang “Called to Serve Him.” This choir was made up of Irish-born men and women who had served missions from Ireland. They’d traveled the globe spreading the gospel and then returned to their homeland to assume leadership and other responsibilities in the church. And here they stood before us, more than 65 of them. They covered the stand in the Finglas Chapel and spilled down the stairs into the aisle. Of all of them, I knew only three. And yet, I felt a bond with every one of them.
I plan to return to Dublin in June 2007 for the next missionary reunion. I know the people there are looking forward to us arriving and I can’t wait to see them again. Long-time member President Bernard O’Farrell - who currently serves in the IDM mission presidency – recently visited the USA where he encouraged a group of returned missionaries to attend the reunion. In his words: “It will be the time of your life for you and the time of our lives for us.”
If ever you’ve thought about returning to Ireland, the reunion is the perfect excuse to go back…and you’ll have people anxiously awaiting you when you arrive.

I often sit back and ponder my life in the mission field. It comes up a lot in planning the reunion. And as I do, I am struck by one thing most. I feel I served an honorable mission and do not really have any regrets. But I now see there was a big gap in my ability to commit people to baptism. I was asking a lot from them. I was asking them to endure mocking and ridicule. I was asking them to face rejection from friends, family and associates. Still, I challenged them knowing their lives would soon be made difficult. At the point of challenging someone for baptism, I'd developed a great love for those I taught and I though my heart would break at the thought of what they were in for. As I look back, the greater love was defined by standing for them in the Lord and in supporting them through the transition of becoming a member of Christ’s church. As I look at those courageous people, I'm filled with deep admiration for those who chose to do what was right first, even if such choices let to great difficulty. It is from these difficult choices that our lives change, growth occurs and miracles happen.
As a reunion committee we are asking you returned missionaries and you members who have left the Emerald Isle to return to Ireland with us for this reunion. It is a lot to ask and it is not for everyone. I challenge you to ask yourself: “Is this for me? Should I go? Doe the Lord want me to go?" Ask these questions first and choose to go or not to go based on the answer you receive. If the answer is yes, plan on going. It may be as easy reaching under a mattress for some cash. For others it may mean some very serious planning and saving or sacrificing to make it happen. If you think you should go, then trust in the Lord and he will grant you a way if you do your part. It took me 22 years to go back to Ireland my first time. While I was there I realized that it was within my reach to have gone back any time if I had made the choice.
When we planned the first reunion, we felt strongly that a particular person should join us. This person thought the reunion was a great idea and desperately wanted to attend. However, money was scare. Raising a large family, it didn't appear that a return trip to Ireland anytime soon would be likely. In a casual conversation a friend in the stake heard about the reunion. He thought it was a great idea. A few weeks later he handed our friend a plane ticket and said, “We feel very strongly that you should go and we will not take no for an answer." I cannot tell you how many miracles we have witnessed as we worked on that reunion and the current one. Great things have and will happen. Many of those who attended the last reunion reported that it was one of the greatest experiences of their lives. We expect no less from this one as we expect much greater missionary and member attendance than before.
If you feel like you should go to this reunion, I encourage you to make a an inward commitment, not to say you’d like to go...not to say you're trying to go...but to say
"I AM GOING!"
With the Lord's help, you will find a way.

This message would be for Church members in Ireland that I knew when serving there (2000-2002), or missionaries I served around who may want to take a trip to Ireland also. I will be coming to Ireland the first week of December.
If any missionaries I knew want to go with me, you're more than welcome. I got a great deal on cheapoair.com for only $475 round-trip, taxes included. Just let me know if you're interested in a holiday and I'll give you the details.
And for the members I knew, I'd love to meet up with you all! Please let me know if you'll be around during the beginning of December.
Thanks.

It is kind of important that I get in touch with him soon.
Thanks to all,
