Time to Start Blogging Again or It's Springtime in Blue Grass Country

I've gone quite awhile without blogging. It's been cold and I've been busy but I have been encouraged to start up again.

So I'll start with mission related items.

An Elder named Nicholas Harmon came into the office the other day. I've seen him before but didn't get a chance to talk to him. He is from Flagstaff, Arizona and is the son of a Glen Harmon who is the son of another Glen Harmon and so on. Turns out he is the great grand son of Glen Harmon of Berkeley, California. I told him my parents were married in the Berkeley Harmon home and his parents were also married there. I told him to find out if his dad had an uncle named George because George and I went to Berkeley High School together. Maybe i will be able to hook with george some how and hash over old times.

My second item is about the Vorheis family from Fairview, Utah. Brother and Sister vorheis are serving as Senior Missionaries here in the Kentucky Louisville Mission. They were in Campbellsville but have now moved up to the Mission Office to take over for the McClellans who are leaving to go home.

The Vorheis' had a son serving a mission in Argentina about twelve years ago and he was shot during a street robbery. He has been severely disabled but was able to get married. It's a great story and is spelled out in much greater detail in one of the most recent Church News editions. i looked on line but couldn't find it to provide a link but i saw the article in the Church news and it's very moving.

I'm collecting some nice spring time photos of the Kentucky countryside and our neighborhood. I'll post some of those very soon.

Interesting to hear mission experiences and what a small world it is.
