While we usually delete emails that start with FW: without giving them a second thought, for some reason Marcia actually read one today that had a “a bunch of random questions about you” in it. We decided that we’d play along, but rather than annoy people who also dislike the letters F and W in their email subject lines, we’d post our responses here, on the blog.

There.
More than you ever wanted to know about me. I wonder what Marcia will say!
It was fun to get your card and hope things are going well for you two. We have such fond memories of our time in Nauvoo and serving with you, Marcia, in that beautiful temple. That was a special time in our lives that we will always cherish.
In March we held a Nauvoo Temple Missionary reunion here in St. George, Utah, and invited all who had served with us during the summers of 2004 and 2005. We had a great time. There were 127 who attended. We did a session at the temple and then had a dinner and a program at the college. We hope to have more reunions in the future.
Again, congratulations on your wedding. May you have a wonderful life together!!
Love,
Marilyn Bringhurst
