We just spent a great few days with our Swedish friends, Gleissmans and Walkers. Jackson Hole and Bar J Wranglers was a hit! After a night at Targhee Ski resort, we took the lift to view the backside of the Tetons. Amazing view!

 Bar J Wranglers were awesome. Ingemar haves them all sign his CD. This is the bass singer.

Three Sweden Mission Reunions this Fall!

 President Larry and Sister Sally Anderson came from Richland, WA to be with us at our luncheon. It was so good to see them back after their 3-yr service.

 Our Maddox luncheon on September 29th was superb. The Sweden Mission couples came without hesitation. It was really great.

 Ron & Jee Tomyn were at the Karlsson/Anderson reunion. Elder Tomyn was an AP when we left and moved into our apartment until the Lundquists could come.

 Steven enjoyed being with the Fletcher Group in Mill Creek in the evening of September 29th. He even took his Cousin Brad Johnson, who also served in Sweden with him.

We were so glad to see Johnathan Espinozo at the Sweden Stockholm Mission Reunion on September 30th. He was one of our Office Elders who took over when we left Sweden.

The State Flower of Idaho, syringa, was blooming profusely in the mountains and by the rivers. Very fragrant and beautiful.

Varr and Bernice Nelson were our traveling companions. We drove the trip in their new Caravan and watched movies along the way.

Sally and Larry Anderson are happy to be at their home in Richland. Their backyard even has a nice little waterfall.

In the living room by their antique player piano, the men posed for a quick photo before we left.

July 24th, 2011 was the special homecoming fireside for the Andersons. We helped provide the Swedish atmosphere by singing "Blott en dag" as an 8-member chorus. We thought we sounded great. Our Swedish came back in a hurry after we practiced a few times. The stake center was filled with about 350 people. Good attendance!

St. George visit

The Salt Lake Choral Artists presented Hope, Faith, Life, Love... in the St. George Tabernacle on 10 June 2011. We met Vicky and Rex Lewis there and enjoyed the talent of former Sweden Missionary Jessee Goates as she sang with the group of Salt Lake Concert Choirs, directed by Dr. Brady R. Allred. She is so talented!!

Annual Barn Dance at Johnsonfarm in Honeyville

Line dancing was a favorite of young and old. The music kept us going!

Potluck mania. The food was so yummy! You had to get in line fast.

Sweden Mission couples plus Sister Bente Karlsson. Daniels, Johnsons, Jepsons, Thunells, Tolboes, Nelsons and Rosevears stayed long enough to have a group photo.

Pippi Lonestocking was the main horse attraction. Our pure bred quarter horse filly is a month old and such a beauty.

The Pearsons brought the Watts for a good-bye as they prepare to depart to the Nauvoo Mission serving in the visitor's center and accompanying for the pageant productions. They are great examples to us all!
