Newsletter advice....

The ward newsletter asked me to write a little paragraph about Bry and I. Here it is.... let me know what you think, I am open for suggestions as I have never done this before.


Bryan and Taylor Morton are so excited to be a part of this wonderful ward. Bryan goes to school at Weber State University of Mechanical Engineering and works full time. Taylor works full time at Kohl’s in Centerville. Bryan served in the California Carlsbad mission and returned home November 2010. On August 20, 2011 Bryan baptized Taylor and on October 20, 2011 they were married. In their spare time they enjoy riding dirt bikes, camping, and spending time outdoors.
And then I added a picture from our baptism at the bottom.

We are so happy here, everyone is so helpful and sweet, especially the Stubbs. They picked me up the first week and then last week Sister stubbs called me to tell me that she would save me a seat, (since Bry had to work) I sat by her in all three meetings. On Wednesday there is a relief Society activity and she also said that she would be happy to come and pick me up so that I could go with her. Sometimes people have no idea how a little helping hand can turn someones perspective right around. Moving was the best thing for us, and we are happy beyond words.

Relief Society

Yesterday the Relief Society presidency came over, they were the sweetest ladies. I told them all about me being a convert and our plans to get sealed soon, and they said the bishop is great and will gladly help us. They also brought over the Relief Society manual of the year 2012. I have never in my life seen this book before, and Bryan thought it was super weird that our old ward never used it (they did a lot of things.....differently)
Sometimes you get put into situations you would rather not be in, like a ward that doesn't seem to care, or a church leader that doesn't seem to care. Keep your head up and continue studying the gospel and do what you can to get out of the situation. For Bryan and I, we moved (not the only reason we moved might I add)
This new ward seems so great and we are so happy we moved here, Bryan has not been yet because of work but I told him how wonderful it is, and how welcoming every one is. Kaysville 17th ward is so great and soon bryan and I are going to meet with the bishop and see what he can do to help us progress in the gospel.
Those of you in poor situations, keep your head up and try and stay positive.

First Sunday in the new ward

Church on Sunday was a success, the ward mission leader and his wife came and picked me up and I walked to church with them since Bry had to work. Everyone was so friendly to me, and the Relief Society presidency is coming over on Thursday to get to know me. The bishop of this ward is out of town in South America, so when he gets back Bry and I are going to go talk with him about working towards getting sealed. We love our new apartment, and I am very happy we have moved into a great ward.

Tues Night

Last Tuesday Bryan and I were sitting on the couch watching TV, first time watching
tv in like a week, and we heard a knock at the door. It was the ward mission leader from
the ward welcoming us to the ward. We were very happy to see him,
he gave us brownies and a ward directory. We explained our situation to him, that i was a convert,
and that we are working toward getting to the temple, and that Bryan works most Sundays lately.
He offered to have his wife come and pick me up for church.
I wish Bryan could come with me on Sunday but it will be okay,
I am so grateful that we already have helpful people in our ward, and that Sister Stubbs is willing
to pick me up and let me go to class and church with her.
I know this move is and will continue to be a great blessing for both Bryan and myself.
