Rebecca Linford

I have been married to Chris Snell for 10 years in Nov. We have three kids Heber 7, Abby 5 and Bryson 2. We enjoy hunting and anything that is outdoors. We are busy with our callings Chris is in the State young men’s and I’m in the Relief Society as the education counselor. I also enjoy help with the Scouting program in May I severed on Staff for the Wood Badge course. It was a lot of fun.

Memories:
1. The time I got to spend with my brother in the mission. It was really fun having him there and working with him in the same city.
2. I loved Christmas time
3. I enjoyed teaching English
4. I liked riding a bike

Favorite mission memory-man there are many so choose one: my first baptism that I was able to perform, bearing testimony on the streets and feeling the Spirit, being led by the Spirit, singing in the MTC missionary choir, interviews with Presidente Clegg, and certain expriences praying with investigators. Too many! We live in Federal Way, Washington. My wife is at home taking care of the home and baby and preparing for the next one. I have two business partners and we own a physical therapy company. We have four outpatient clinics and a home health division currently, with many plans for future growth. Life is busy! If there are any physical therapists who want to work in the Northwest, please call me-lol! Jeremiah Shelton

I unfortunately will not be able to attend this reunion. I am an advisor in the Teacher's Quorum here in the Olathe Kansas Stake and I am taking time off from work early June to take the young men on their annual Boy Scout High Adventure. Also, my wife is expecting our third child in July and I will be using the rest of my vacation time for that event. Thank you for your time and efforts in doing all this work to schedule events like these and to keep an updated list of all our emails/addresses. Please let me know where or to who I should send any donations for the fundraising activity for the font or whatever you all deem a worthy cause. I would love to help out with something like that. Thanks again for all you do now and for what you have done in the past. You both are two people that greatly enfluenced my life for the good and I will be eternally greatful for that. Thanks again,

We live in Payson, Utah where Rustin works as a developmental scientist for NuSkin. Luckily, I am able to stay home with our three children: two lively boys (3 and 4), and one stubborn little girl (1). I teach voice and piano out of our home one day a week. Nothing too exciting except for the every day cuteness of the children that keep us on our toes.

Favorite memory: Oh so many! The first thing that comes to mind is when our district was given permission to go to the midnight Christmas Mass at the Duomo in Milan and Anziano Karpowitz picked up a vehicle. No kidding. I have a picture I need to scan and send with the story but I have to dig it and my journal out to give you the whole story. Then there's the recital we gave, the vomit story from the bus, sitting with the nuns, and having my mother as a companion (how could I forget that?). I'm going to have to think on this one a little.

Hi! This is Sorella Susanne Read, now Johnston. Sheri Steed forwarded me information about the upcoming reunion. I know I only served under you for a couple of months, but I still have fond memories of you both. I would love to come to the reunion, if I'm invited.

I am married to a wonderful man, Chris Johnston, who converted to the church months before I met him. We are going on nine years! We have three beautiful children, Katelyn- 6, Madeline-4, and Adam-2(in May). We live in Inglewood, CA, near LAX. My husband works as a film editor and director. In fact, he edited some of the Preach MY Gospel videos! I manage apartments for my parents and homeschool. My husband is in the bishopric and I am a primary teacher
The Lord has blessed us considerably, I sometimes feel I don't deserve it, but I am so grateful. I have had many opportunities to share the gospel here in LA. It is reminiscent of the mission, however, no bites...YET! I'll never forget when Sheri and I returned to the mission two years later to find that someone I had given an English flyer to was preparing to serve her mission to France. That gave me tremendous hope that, even though the number of people baptized during my service was very low, I had planted many seeds that, God willing, would/will grow into something fruitful. That hope was rekindled when I heard the announcement for the temple in Rome. I cried so hard! The joy was overwhelming

Laura Smith

Jeff and I have been married for nearly eleven years and we have three very cute kids (Owyn, 8, William, 6, and Ellena, 2). We moved to the St. George area ten years ago and we currently live in Washington City, Utah in an almost historic home. I work as a reserve Sheriff's Deputy for the county sheriff and I have been a law enforcement officer for the past eight years. I'm also about a month away from getting my bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice (as of the reunion). Someday we will get the time and money to visit Italy since it is all Jeff's fault I wasn't able to go back when I had planned . In the meantime, we really like being together as a family, swimming, hiking, hanging out at home, and all that other good stuff families do.

And a favorite memory from the mission:

When I was in Como, Sorella Townsend and I would take half an hour most mornings to go jogging. A little while after we started our morning routine a friendly garbage man stoped us and offered us fresh brioche. Of course we accepted (mmmm brioche). The next time he saw us, he again offered us pastries, and we accepted again. Soon, this occurance became habit and we saw the pastry toting garbage man nearly every day. Sorella Townsend and I commented to each other that this habit was counteractive to the jogging but we couldn't refuse for fear of offending him. We never had a conversation of more than a few words, only brioche and a wave. A few weeks later his shift or work area must have changed because we didn't see him again that I can remember. The elders, though, told us our friendly garbage man came looking for us at the mostra. I don't think he took a Book of Mormon or spoke about the gospel to the elders, but I hope he did someday.

Presidente: Congratulations on your new calling. I hope that all is well with you, la Sorella Clegg and your family.
I remember the mission often and I am very grateful for the role that you played in my experiences. Let me know if you ever need ANYTHING.
I've attached a somewhat recent photo of my boys Trace & Kolby and Keegan. The twins turn 7 this summer and Keegan just turned 3. Mindy is actually 10 weeks pregnant. We are of course hoping for una femina.
