CVM Mission Reunion..


Travis hosted a mission reunion this last weekend, he was so nervous about noone coming and wasn't sure how to get the word out, he actually had nightmares about it for 2 weeks, so i am glad it is over for his sake! But it turned out better than we all thought. Travis absolutely idolizes his mission president as i think all missionaries do, and we were lucky enough to go out to dinner with his mission pres and wife before the reunion started, so it was fun for me to get to know them better and so fun for travis to hang out with his mission pres again. We went to Lonestar with another missionary and his wife, it was a lot of fun. The reunion was at a church in west bountiful, and me and this other wife had to provide the desserts for it, it all turned out great. And the best part was that about 40 elders and sister showed up from the California Ventura mission, so travis and his mission pres were well pleased! We had a mini zone conf. as travis called it in the chapel and travis conducted, it was so fun to watch him, i could just picture him as a 20 year old missionary up there, all the elders and sister stould up and recited standard of truth and it was so cool to hear them, they all still had it memorized. It was awesome listening to pres. clarke and his wife as well, i have just as much reverence for them as travis does. I couldn't help thinking about my mom and dad in the phillippines and knowing that this is how their missionaries look to them, so cool!
all the elders and a few sisters. all their spouses were there too plus some kids, we had a full chapel, it was awesome.

I can't believe that you didn't tell me about this? Sounds like neat night. I have never been to Dusty's we're always in the wrong state. Hopefully one day.

That is so great! I bet everyone was glad that Trav put that together! Hey did Jeff Gardner, and his wife Lindsay show up? They are friends of mine from college, and Jeff went to that mission.

That is really amazing that all of those people came together for something so special. All of the hard work for it looks like it paid off in a big way! GOOD WORK TRAV!!

Wow! Way to host an amazing Mission Reunion. I'm so glad that so many came. How fun! I've been to a few of Spencer's mission reunions, and it's true what you said, they're truly amazing.
