Gathering of the WIM

“How many shall we expect,” asked Sisters Beecher, Beutler and Andrus when we first arrived for the WIM Reunion on Friday, April 4 in Provo. “Beats me,” I responded because I really didn’t know… but come they did!!!  I had sent an “official” Smilebox invitation to those whose e-mail addresses I had … posted it on Facebook and then encouraged the recipients to “pass it on.”  At 6 p.m. they began pouring in and before long we had a crowd of more than 90, including RM’s of every age … as well as spouses, fiancés and girl / boyfriends. President Gamiette didn’t arrive until quite late because he and all other area Seventies were invited to the viewing of a new movie put out by the First Presidency, but almost everyone stayed!  Finally, at about 10:30 - after hearing an inspiring message from our former mission president - people began leaving for home.  It was a delightful evening including a delicious pot luck dinner.  It appeared everyone had a great time!!!
