Thanksgiving Call from Kristen

Beyond getting to call on P-days, Kristen also gets to call on major holidays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and birthdays. She called us on Thanksgiving afternoon (her Friday morning).

She thought she might be getting sick when we talked to her Sunday and sadly that came true. She and her companion, Sister Taylor, had both been sick. At least they were able to rest in the apartment for a few days. 

Kristen and the comp were planning to go out on Friday to do some finding. Not too much to complain about when the finding happens on the beach!

It was good to see her face and see that all was well.

She did share an amazing connection though. Her flatmate, Sister Sydney Templeman, who is in the other companionship in the apartment is Kristen's 4th cousin. Sydney's great great great grandfather, Dee Albert Oviatt, is also our great great great grandfather (on my dad's mother's side of the family). Sydney's great great grandfather, John Franklin Oviatt, is the brother to our great great grandfather, Hyrum Parley Oviatt. How amazing is that!?

And apparently, the Templemans now live in Utah and are friends with Susan and her family.
