WIM Reunion
We attended our very first WIM reunion since coming home from Guyana in June. It was a combination of
President and Sister Robison’s missionaries and those of us who served under
President and Sister Gamiette, held in Provo in the afternoon of Friday,
October 5. It was delightful to see many
of the couples with whom we served in both Trinidad (Jim and Joey Luster, Jim
and Jan Wheeler, Ralph and Paulette Childs) and Guyana (Larry and Karen
Harris) and
others who served in other parts of the WIM (Clive and Arlene Henderson, Bob and Raylene Bush and Doug and Valerie Salmon). We also met some of the couples who served before us (Robison, Faux, Bulloch, Hymas and others). After an hour of catching up with the seniors, the young
missionaries began arriving. It was so
much fun to see Wally So’Oto, Hayden Van Meeteren, Abe Austin, Tyler White, Kyle Dyson, Rusden
Scott, Brock Beeson, Nikita Vi, Kolton Arnold and Tobin Prince. It was pretty funny how often we were asked “can I call you Linda?
Can I call you Ed?” but we asked the same question of others. A mission is
a wonderful experience – one for which I will always be grateful and seeing the faces of those we loved and with whom we served -if just for a couple of hours - was a delight!!!
