There's No Place like Home...and a Homecoming Sunday

 Homecoming Sunday

   June 14th was our Homecoming Day in the Kaysville 17th Ward. We reported our mission and shared sweet experiences about the Young Single Adults of Manchester, England.  We also conveyed our love of the missionaries we met from all over the world.  We had a great Sunday with family, friends, food and most of all bearing our testimonies of our love of the Savior and our knowledge of the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was wonderful to see old friends and to have over 30 EMM missionaries re-united. 

Delishcakespot (aka Ashley Reese) made this fabulous cake for us.


Sam Bytheway was one of the first missionaries we met. What a fantastic young man from Salt Lake City. 

Anna Maiurnikova is from Ukraine but is here in Utah studying and working.

One of our favorites, Alivia Jordan, from Chicago, and is now studying at BYU. She was a Chinese Speaking Missionary in the EMM. 



Sister Merrill is another favorite missionary. We feel very close to her and were happy to meet her fiance, Seth.

Shaquille Walker and Katarina Dushku were absolutely A-plus missionaries in the EMM. We loved them. Shaquille is from Georgia, a convert and also a top-notch member of the BYU track team. Katarina is a classy girl from Centerville. 

Some of the EMM Missionaries who came to our Homecoming.

We cannot even say how much we missed this crew. The entire family together..... A rare occurrence.

These girls are my sanity and my heart and soul. They also helped me get the Italian Lunch out for everyone.
Our daughters are:  (Left) Molly, Amby, (I'm super happy), Macy and Ali

The supportive Ouzts family were there with us. Reed's sister Kristine and her husband Steve and Janussa came from Arizona for the occasion.
