It's been a long time, bu...Hello Brother Riley:<br />It's been a long time, but I am thankful to Sandie Johnson for forwarding your first Easter message. This is Gayle Randall. I was formerly Gayle Jordan from Lakepoint who attended Tooele High Seminary from 1969 to 1973. I love these messages, but I love even more the flood of memories that comes back to me when I think of our association together as student and teacher at the seminary. Back in November of 2011, my husband and I entered the MTC for our third mission, this one to Sierra Leone. On the row in front of us a couple introduced themselves as Elder and Sister Grover. I knew it had to be Ron or perhaps a brother ( I had not seen him for many years). When I asked him if he taught seminary at Tooele Seminary, Erica said, "Gayle, is that you?!" What a small world and what a fun experience to be in the MTC together. I would never have predicted that 40+ years ago! So glad to reconnect with men who made such an impact on my teenage testimony. Brings tears to my eyes to think of it!Gayle J.

It's good to be back in our comfort zone. Sean's pressure sores on his lower back opened up, though, probably from aggravation of travel. We will be at Wound Care Center at hospital at Mission. I wish I felt more comfort. Nothing has been as hard as this for me. Maybe I've been spoiled/protected/sheltered. <br /><br />Thank you for all you do and all you are. Indeed, I and many others are blessed to know you.<br /><br />Bonnie LynnWilliam L. Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601014850736239140noreply@blogger.com
