The Canada Vancouver Sisters' Reunion!

This week I was able to be a part of a reunion for the sisters' from my mission. Cindy Ferguson (one of my very cool companions) pretty much made it happen, and even found out a time when President and Sister Colton were going to be in town from Maryland to have it. We were able to all get together at the Colton's condo in Park City for a wonderful dinner and a lot of reminiscing! We got to hear all about what my mission president and his wife have been up to for the last.... uh,hem... eleven years or so! President Colton served as the temple president of the Washington D.C. temple, and since they were released from that, they have travelled the world! They are such wonderful people, and it was so good to see them again!
I was also able to catch up with a couple of my old companions, Cindy Ferguson (on the left) and Rosalie (Lund) Macmillan, on the right. These girls are amazing! Cindy is a mega-talented artist who does paper cuts that are unbelievable - she even has some on display at the Tower of London. Rosalie is also a mega-talent, performing her violin all over the world and getting recognized as one of the top violinists in the world. That is only the beginning of their talents, too! It was so fun to see them again!
I also got to catch up with a really good friend of mine from high school, Erika (Holmes) Walker, who also happened to be in my mission! I think it has also been pretty much ten years since I've seen her, too! She is always so much fun!

This picture is of me with a sister from my mission, Erika (Fletcher) Peterson. We served around each other and were friends, and then I found out that she lives in the same stake as Geoff's parents, and that her husband used to live next door to Geoff and graduated with him. Isn't that funny!? We drove up together to Park City, and laughed almost the entire way... especially when we got lost!
