Matt Turned 30!!

We had a lot going on for Matt's 30th Birthday, all the way back in May. His mother and brother, who had recently returned from his mission, came to visit for the weekend. We also had a big get together with lots of people and food. Thanks for all that came and the food that you brought. It meant a lot to Matt.

Sorry I didn't get a picture till after the candles and singing.


The Birthday Boy. I love you Matt!!
Andrew, in thought about Samoa. Not knowing how to talk to people. Oh I love newly returned missionaries. He was excited that the missionaries showed up.
Matt's mom, Barbara, helping out. (And Brother Gildea)
Elder Barlow and Elder Jangula. These are the last two missionaries that lived with us before Kammi moved in for the summer. We loved these two. Their story is awesome, Elder Barlow is deaf, and all of his companions had received their calls as ASL elders so that they were able to translate for him, in church and well every where. Elder Jangula was not called as an ASL elder. In one of Elder J's areas he was a district leader over Elder Barlow, they had to work together at various times. Elder Jangula decided he wanted to learn sign language, so Elder Barlow taught him. Elder Jangula practiced till he could sign everything. He translates all church long. It is amazing what he was able to learn. We loved these two and the spirit that they had with them. The members loved being around them.
Random pictures of some of the people that attended. You will have to forgive me, I am not the best picture taker.
