Elder Koozer's Mission address

Thanks again to every one who has helped us to get to this point. We are grateful for all our friends and family for the support in every way. We had a wonderful gathering last Sunday for Buddy's Farewell. We will never forget the crowd we stuffed into this Maricopa house!
We will be taking Buddy to the MTC in Provo on Tuesday Morning. He will check in on Wednesday at Noon. He will be in the MTC for nine weeks. This is his address there and I'm sure he would love to hear from everyone during his stay:

Elder Charl Ron Koozer
Italy Rome Mission
Provo Missionary Training Center
2005 N. 900 E.
Provo, UT 84604

There is a great and easy way to send things to missionaries in the MTC.

Get well Soon Taylor

Our sweet Taylor (one of my young women who is also in Hal's seminary class) was in a bad car accident this week with her brother,Cameron. They were on their way to school on Monday when it happened. They were both life flighted out to two different hospitals. They have been through some rough and scary days as we have been watching and waiting to see small improvements each day now. Cameron is home with some broken vertebra, and Taylor is still in the hospital with a broken pelvis and some other complications. They were really worried about her because she did not respond the whole first day after the accident. I did get to run up to see her Tuesday morning, and she hugged me and Hal, and quietly told us of her memory of the accident. A very spiritual experience that I am sure will give her the strength to endure this trial she will now face as she will have to take the time to recover. We want to wish her and Cameron a speedy recovery and send them all our love. We are here for you! I know all the girls in ward are fasting and praying for you and your family at this time. Good luck!

These are some cute pictures I had of Taylor and Jen and Madison when they came to my house to make this great cake for a YW recognition night. We had a lot of fun!

Happy Birthday Jolene!

Happy Birthday Jolene!

This is Jolene George. Since the first day that I moved out here to Maricopa,
she has been amazing. She calls me her best friend and I really needed one. I have always
been very close to my sisters - and I still am - but when I moved further away then I have ever been
from any of them....I was feeling lonely. Knowing she would include me with her circle of friends so willingly was so kind. Then when I realized how thoughtful and kind she is, I am so proud to call her my best friend. We have had a blast the past several months. Our families have so much fun together. Jolene and I work out together, we go walking (she even puts up with me taking big Louie - our great dane). Our kids are in sports together, so we get to hang out and cheer and take pictures. We help each other with events at church and when our husbands are around, we are usually laughing continually. Jolene is so organized and crafty. She is so talented and caring. She is also fun and spontaneous. We can call them at any time of day and make instant plans for dinner or a trip into town or a FHE. I just can't say enough good about her and her family. She makes me happy and I want to wish her a very Happy Birthday!
