Stuart and I had the wonderful opportunity to go to the Preston Temple with our ward family. They are the best! This is only about half of the group that went to the temple. This was the first time to the temple for many of them.
Love Angela!
William is the best!
With David, Lorraine and Andrew. So happy to be with them!
It was such a great day! So grateful to be a part of the Glasgow Ward.
Stuart and I were able to do a lesson with Elders Morton and Brown and then take them to lunch.
Elder Brown just happens to be our nephew!! So fun to see him and his companion!
While Stuart and I were in the Preston area, we drove to see where Stuart's Gregory ancestors were from. Such an amazing experience! As we drove into the first town were they lived, the sun came out and there was this huge rainbow in the sky. I'm sure the Gregorys were so happy that we came to where they were all from that they put a rainbow in the sky as a sign, just for us. Pretty incredible.

We stopped by where our dear friend Maureen Lee Burnett grew up. Maureen passed away in May so we were so happy we could go see where she was from. It was transfer week. Sister Ngwetsheni is off to Ireland. We hated to say goodbye, but glad Sister Puafisi is staying in Glasgow. We love our missionaries!












Wow! Thats amazing that you were able to see all those churches where Stuart’s Grandparents came from. It was also great that you were able to visit with our nephew, Elder Braxton Brown.
