A VISIT FROM GRANDMA AND GRANDPA AND THE YOUNGS

January 17, 2017

 Today Elder Stratford had some unexpected visitors.  Sydney, Josh's cousin, lives in Hong Kong, with her husband Jakob Walker who works for Marriott.  Sydney's family along with Grandma and Grandpa Stratford took a trip to Hong Kong to see Sydney and where she lives.  So all 8 of them (Sydney, Jake, Londyn, Maddie, Tom, Stacy, Pam and Roger) went to see the temple and then went to see the mission president.  President Lam and Sister Lam were in the office talking to another couple when the Stratford's and Young's came in to say hi.  President Lam was very kind and visited with them for a few minutes - when in walks Elder Stratford.  

Sydney said, "We went to meet Josh's mission president, and we ran into Elder Stratford.  The mission president was so nice and so was his wife.  President Lam said that Josh was just like a grandson to him.  Grandma and Grandpa said they would share him.  As we were chatting with the mission president Josh walked in, and his mission president was totally cool about it.  Josh walked in and just froze for a minute.  I think he felt better about it when his mission president was fine with it."

Roger wrote, "You can't believe how handsome Josh looked today.  He has grown into a young man.  He just looked sooooooo good!  His mission president seemed so nice and he really really thinks the world of Josh.  He was so nice when he told Josh that we were family and he could relax and talk with us a well as getting a hug."
