Mary Jean Rasmussen and her son Kim, drove down to Centerville, UT, to enjoy the homecoming of her granddaughter, Courtney Carr. Courtney’s parents are Terrie and Hayes Carr. For the last eighteen months she has been serving in the Ohio, Columbus, Mission. With the COVID 19 restrictions the first glimpse the family had of Courtney was in the Salt Lake airport parking lot. Courtney is now making plans to attend Utah State University in Logan.
The Young Women’s group are doing monthly service. This month was providing homemade French bread and soup to take to the homes of their past activity leaders. They are having a great time cooking in the kitchen of their leader, Jody Rasmussen.
With the coming of the new year there was a need for priesthood ordinations among the young men who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Jonathan Seamons, son of Jeff and Jennifer, was ordained to the office of a priest. Conner Iverson, son of Kurt and Margret, was ordained a teacher. Two sons of Clayton and Wendy Currie were ordained, Devlyn as a teacher and Larien as a deacon. Grayson Stanworth, son of Kaci Avery, was ordained a deacon. Hazen Baird became a teacher and his brother Orrin a deacon, sons of LaRon and Liesa Baird.
There was a baby blessed on January 17th. The little boy of Robert and Darci Maxwell was named Dominic Jade Maxwell. This is always a wonderful event that our village anticipates.
Kent and ReNae Egley were at Twin Falls, ID, supporting their race car driving son, Matt. Matt was presented with the Rookie of the Year award for this past racing season. This is the off season for racing and Matt and his crew are shaping things up to be ready for the coming season a few months away.
This past Sunday was one of the few where there was a need for the walks and parking lot at the LDS Ward to be cleared of snow before meetings began. The young men of the community stepped up and accomplished the task. In my book that is a pretty big sacrifice for teenage guys, meetings are on the early schedule in this ward.
The COVID-19 virus is still making some visits in our community. Quarantine times have shortened a bit, but it still affects our interactions.
