Small World

We have the missionaries over for dinner every other week.  It is really a blessing having them in our home and we always enjoy it.  A couple of weeks ago we had Elder Mortenson in our home for the first time.  Come to find out he is from Arizona but his family is from my home town River Heights, UT.  His grandparents the Mikelson's and Aunt live in my home ward growing up.  His Aunt, Maryann Grover was my piano teacher, young woman leader and lives 3 houses up from my parents.  I know his cousins, Tom, Marie, Scott, Mikey and Cathryn really well.  Also his other cousins Brad, Rich and Ryan Clark.    He used to come stay summers at his grandparents house every year and his Mom lives in Nibley (parents divorced)  If that wasn't enough his paternal grandfather, Neal Mortenson was my Mom's OBGYN and delivered both Clint and I.  It was fun to chat about all these coincidences.  Small World.
