Comments:
My mission call was to the Northern Indian Mission. My first companion was Elder Dennis Cummings from Kanosh, Utah. I was then companions with Elders Maurice Ohumukini, Greg Dan Bird, Myron Accutaroop, Dickie Neztosie, John Lines, Richard Leahny,
Colin Deputee and Joseph Stalien. I served 11 months under President Farmer and 13 months under President Dahl. They could not have been more different in every way from physical stature to how to run the mission. I loved President Farmer very much and missed his leadership when he left. I loved being in the mission field and wish sometimes I could do it again. The impact of working with the Lamanites is something I have never forgotten. Our experience was completely different than other missions and I am so grateful I could serve in one of the most unique and rewarding missions in the church.
I returned in August of 1968 and married Dianna Denham in the Arizona Temple on June 14, 1969. We have 5 children and 14 grandchildren. Our three boys all completed missions and our two daughters married returned missionaries. (My oldest daughter married Brian Allan May, who served in the Rapid City South Dakota Mission from 1989 to 1991.) All five of our children are married and sealed in the Temple. Our oldest grandson, Hunter Brian May is currently serving in the New York Utica Mission.
I have served in many positions in the Church. Bishop's counselor, Ward Clerk, High Priest Group Leader, Sunday School President, Elder's Quorum Presidency, Membership Clerk and Primary Teacher. Currently, my wife and I teach the 7-8 year olds in Junior Primary in our Ward. We love serving together and are making plans to serve as Senior Missionaries when Dianna retires next year.
I have a testimony and know the Church is true. Even though the focus of the church and the mission have moved away from the Lamanite people, I know they are a blessed and wonderful people.
