SAMMY

WEDDING SEASON FOR FORMER STUDENTS

IS STARTING UP AGAIN.

SAMANTHA (SAMMY) RAVEN WAS

SUCH A GREAT STUDENT!

SHE WAS SOOOO SWEET AND KIND!

SHE GRADUATED IN 2015, AND MET

HER NEW HUSBAND, TRUMAN,

AT THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH.

THIS IS SAMMY WITH HER NEW INLAWS.

THE GROOM'S DAD IS MISSING.

HE IS A MISSION PRESIDENT FOR THE

OREGON PORTLAND MISSION.

THE PRESIDENT CANNOT LEAVE, BUT HIS WIFE CAN.

 SO, THIS IS THE MAN THAT MARRIED THE COUPLE!

YUP.  WHEN I SAW THE GROOM'S LAST NAME,

IT IS THE SAME NAME AS AN LDS APOSTLE!

INSTEAD OF ASKING HIS MOTHER IF THEY ARE

RELATED TO ELDER BALLARD, I ASKED IF THEY

WERE RELATED TO TOMMY BALLARD.

HE IS ELDER BALLARD'S GRANDSON AND I 
TAUGHT HIM IN 5TH GRADE!  

I THEN KNEW, AND ALSO TOLD HIS MOTHER I

TAUGHT SAMMY IN 5TH GRADE!

HOW WOULD IT BE TO BE SEALED BY AN

APOSTLE OF THE LORD, AND ALSO THAT

HE IS THE GROOM'S GRANDPA?
