okay...so here i sit in one of the very few quiet moments i have had in years...both kids are asleep and tomorrow is eli's first birthday...and mission is on my mind...i wonder and worry and think about and pray for all of you - my dear friends - my companions - those of you who helped me to find myself and be myself through knowing you - through being able to learn from you and with you...from you sharing yourselves with me - that is who i am - a piece here and a piece there from all of you...that is how i am complete...i just want you to know i love you and i think of you always - not a day goes by without expressing gratitude to Father for the blessing of my missionary friends...! hope to hear from you - whether it be as a response here or to my email or by letter or by phone - i am here and would absolutely love to here from you and know what you are doing :) i am hoping that this isn't going to be yet another posted message on here that has no replies... :) so - get to writing :) sure love you all! be true...

| These is no doubt that the mission experience affects us all in very powerful ways. I find myself referring back to my mission when I visit with people, especially members of my college ward. Clearly, our lives go on and we have new experiences that can be just as powerful and add to our mission experiences. I am fortunate because I hear from someone almost weekly as people want to update information on the mission web site. I am pleased with how many are progressing and maturing. I am glad to post any information that people send me so that you can stay informed about each other. |

My wife wants too also. We are expecting our first anyday now!!! Can't wait...We have 2 names, Harrison or Keaton. What do you guys think? |

The middle name would probably be Mark, after my dad. It's also my middle name. Alysha is due next Thursday but he could come anytime now. We are super excited! I had a question, what is the best way to get any contact info on members in Coimbra? I heard through my brother's bro-in-law who actually served in Coimbra the Irmao Teixera is the Stake Pres...I would like to get a hold of him and others, but have no idea how. The church should have a database, like a phone book for all members. That would be cool. It could be voluntary though for sure. Anyway, I am just at work at 3:43 am at eBay!! Passing the time. Talk to you later.

HI everyone,
My name is Dina and I'm from Coimbra 1. I have been in Utah for 4 years now. I got married to former Elder Nelson. We have two children.
Anyway, I don't know if any of you remember me but I can give you information on how to contact people in Coimbra. Joaquim Teixeira da Silva is indeed the Stake President and his email is quimsud@sapo.pt
Talk to you later.
Hope you can get a hold of him.
If there's anyone else I can help you find, let me know. |

I must stand in "agreeance". In the many years since my return there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of, dream of and wonder about everyone and hope and pray our work lives on. I miss it every day. I agree with SisMichelle...my companions and all those I served with, especially President West and Sister West, have made eternal marks on my spirit and have a spot in my mind and heart that is always inspiring and directing me to do better, be better and strive for excellence. Had it not been for the time I served, the people I served and who I served with...I would be less of a person. I am honored to have been with you all...and am pleased to see everyone getting married and having kids. Though I am quite partial, there isn't a better group of people and a better mission than ours. It is nice to know others feel the same passion! E-mail me anytime! I'd love to practice the language!
Beijinhos! |

What up! I would so come! I heard about Traci Cartwright the other day. They live in Price...where my parents live..bla bla bla...any ways, I hear that she is (or should have had) her second child. WOW! Can't imagine having kids. Single live is just fine for the moment. Too busy and selfish. Then again, maybe I just don't know what I'm missing. :)
I miss everyone. Sad to hear about Elder Fernandez' brother. E-mail me anytime. Glad to hear from Jason, forgive me, you're from my MTC district, right? I've been thinking about us all...I wonder whatever happend to Elder Casey after he left the mish? Any one know? Hope he is well.

| I haven't heard what happened to Casey. I also have lost contact with Fielding. Too bad this site doesn't employ a PI to find all these people we want to get in touch with! Michelle, what up! Christina, yeah I was in your mtc district. Just to let everyone know, I have the cutest kid in the world!! He is so fun! We just got back from my cabin and he had a blast! Anywho, catch ya'll later.... |

Christina menina292000@yahoo.com |

DUDE! I've wondered what happend to good old Fielding! Gosh, we so didn't get along in the MTC, but he was my DL when I died...and I have nothing but respect for that man! He was a good leader and a great missionary...and taught me a lot. I hope that Casey is well and happy. I feel like he missed out on so many wonderful experiences.
I was thinking about the MTC District and what a time we had. Remember the fight when Pacheco almost threw the desk at Patton. Yowser! Man, what a time. But you know what, I am so grateful for everyone that was in our District. I look back at that time and I learned so many things just from that short 2 month time frame. I wonder what happened to Elder.... oh what is his name...he was the only one that didn't go to Porto with us all...it's on the tip of my tongue...any ways, hope he had a brilliant time on his mish.
Well, though I don't have kids...my nephew and nieces are SO much cutter than any body's children! :-)
Paulson, sorry...Jason...where are you and your family living?
Hope Michelle is doing well.
I don't know if you remember Eden Krehbiel...we speak about once a month. We used to work together...her mother recently passed way. She is married, no kids...doing well.
Later! |

I think you are trying to remember Elder Smith. Colin Smith. He was my and Rasmussen's comp. He was really cool. That's awesome to hear about Fielding. I didn't even know he was a dl. He was hilarious! My kid is 3 months now. He is so funny! He almost never cries. He is such a blessing. I haven't seen anyone from the mission for quite sometime. It would be good to get together. I live in Salt Lake. Anywhere kinda close would be great. Just send me an email and let's get this thing going!
Peace oooouuutt!!! |

Sounds like that would be a nice event. It would depend on how busy school is around that time since I am carrying a heavy load this semester.
Glad to hear that everyone is well. Has anyone heard news about Pres & Sister West? Hope they are well.
Later!
