Consturction on the new Birmingham Temple is underway and they are excited to see a temple built in the same city where President Brown served as a missionary 42 years ago.

Their trip to General Conference this fall was canceled so they could help their daughter with her new baby. However, they came to Utah and Idaho in mid-October; attended Eder Bell's and Sister Guzman's weddings in the Salt Lake Temple and met with many CRM RM,s in Rexburg, Logan and Provo.
