 Val & his companion cooked up some BBQ chicken.  In his words it was "legit."

One of Val's past companion's-- at the change meeting- going home to his family.  

Elder Pace & Elder Galvan.  Collin is from Gilbert

he went to Highland High School & his mom is the one who set up the lunch with me & her & Elder Ward's mom Julie.  The Pace family went to pick up Collin & spent 9 days in Nicaragua, visiting families that Collin had baptized & seeing the sights.  Denai sent me a text a few weeks before they left & asked if she could take something to Val for us.  We were so excited! So we put together a backpack with lots of his favorites and some supplies he needed to get him through the last few months. When we listened to the voice recording he sent, he was definitely surprised when she gave him the "package."

This is Brother & Sister Pace with the boys.

Moms!!!!
