Michigan & Missionaries

They come flooding back to me – sweet memories of our mission in Michigan ... (and some not-so-sweet that make us laugh).  Yes, after so many years in a young neighborhood on the frontier of Layton, we kept our sense of humor in the wilds of Metro Detroit.

Sister Cannon and I loved our home town of Roseville, Michigan – lovely, peaceful with wonderful neighbors we remember as part of our Michigan Family.  We enjoyed teaching with the young missionaries, inspecting apartments, promoting self-reliance, and leading family history classes.

After serving for twelve months on our full-time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we returned early for Kay's treatment at Huntsman Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah.

We rejoice in our sure knowledge of the Resurrection, and in gratitude to our Savior, Jesus Christ, for His loving role in Heavenly Father's great plan of happiness.  May our family in Michigan, Utah, Arizona, and Georgia be comforted by the Spirit ... until we meet again.
