To our Beloved Missionaries,
This has been an incredibly busy summer for us and we suspect it has for you as well. But that's good. We seem to keep busy and yet right now I feel an urgency to find all of you. So my plan is to sequester myself and try to get the work done.
About a month ago, we met at the Epley's and laid out a plan to have the reunion around the weekend of June 20th, 2009 - give or take a few days. Also in attendance were the Ellis's and Elder Kenney. We plan to have several days of optional activities. I think it would be fun to have all our carreer Sisters have a get together,perhaps a golf game for those who are interested and a temple session for those who can get sitters or who can make it. We want both a lunch in the park and a time in the chapel nearby to be a spiritual feast and testimony meeting when the children will be tended in the cultural hall, etc. We would also invite you to attend church with us in North Salt Lake at 11:00 a.m. So much for now.
The REAL need we have at present is to find EVERYONE! Each of us at the planning meeting took some on the list and plan to find them. Yet we need many of you to volunteer to take some names on a page and find them, contact them and have a stewardship over them. We need everyone. One page has about 20 names on it and I will help all I can.
One thing I have done is to find the parents' address, the church boundries dept. and phone the Bishop and see if he can help. Jen Going has been very successful in finding many over the Internet. We hope to network and ask you to give us your contacts and if you happen to see any of our missionaries to get contact information from them for us.
I have a system on Qwest whereby I pay a flat fee of $20 and can call anywhere in the U.S. and I don't want this to be a financial burden on anyone. We hope to find everyone within the next two months to give a heads up on planning next year's vacations. If you are anxious to meet with an old companion, let us know. It is frustrating to have so little time with you at the reunion; it is very precious for us to have one-on-one contact with you either on the phone or at our home and that's our goal.
We are well. President shot an 81 in a tournament and took 2nd place and I hear about it a lot. Really, he is amazing. I can hardly keep up with him. Please contact me if you are willing to help us find. I will assign you and we will work together. I am a pretty good detective!
Know we love you; you are our other family and we will never forget you, not one!
