Most recently Chante had her first Zone Conference, she got to help decorate decide on food and a goody back for the missionaries.

All the Brother Missionaries Chante is serving with as well

Before the Ogden Temple closed for renovation, Chante and I took time to go through and do a session. It was a very heartwarming experience

Some of the missionaries had the opportunity to go to the Carl Bloch Exhibit at BYU. It was a very fun missionary moment


Chante and Sister Missionary Cam at the museum. They have become good friends

Chante with the Bishops wife, Natalie trying on Missionary clothes at Kohl's. We were there for over three hours picking out just the right stuff. She was able to give Chante some great pointers on clothing

Chante and I at the Bountiful Temple for the first time together


Chante in ah.. since she had just received her endowments in the Salt Lake Temple. Chante has grown into a beautiful young woman and truly makes me proud to have her as my daughter. We took the time to soak in all of the experiences of the day and did not hurry. After the temple session, Chante and I ate in the temple cafeteria. I had soup and a macadamia cookie and Chante had her usual, Cheetos, an apple, vanilla ice cream and a macadamia cookie along with a root beer. Afterwards, we went and walked around the temple grounds and the visitor’s center to further her experience of the day. -- Mom

What a beautiful experience I had today to get to go to the temple with Chante to take out her own endowments. We were joined by Jaron and Alanae Cahoon, Dana Richmond, Dick and Sue Salisbury, Lisa Salisbury (Dave had to work), Rich and Cindy Salisbury, Kendall Bledsoe (mentor, Young Single Adult advisor, Temple Prep Teacher and neighbor), Katie Morgan (Young Women’s advisor) and Bishop Jeff Rigby (he has such a special heart for Chante that he changed his schedule around to be at the temple with her) for this very special day for Chante. She is very loved by her friends and family. I know this is a day that she will remember forever.

Chante just after going through the Salt Lake City for her own endowments. Two words to sum up my first temple experience - AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC!


Chante's first missionary experience was to have an evening at Temple Square with President Uchdorf. He was speaking to all the seminary teachers and missionaries
