James and Dawna Terry Family Update - 2015

Things are going well for Dawna and I. We are having a little girl due March 22nd. We are living in Salt Lake. I am attending the University of Utah studying Health Promotion and Education and am a Pre-Med student. Dawna has been teaching 7th-9th grade math at a Jr. high in Riverton. Dawna is the Primary Pianist in our ward and I am the First Counselor in our Elders Quorum. The Elders Quorum President is a member from Lakeland (Drake Linarte) and he actually helped Elder Joseph Johnson and I teach an investigator in Winter Haven, so kind of a small world. 

THE PALMER REPORT

Just wanted to update you on how the Palmers are doing. We are doing great. We bought our first home in September of 2014 in Taylorsville to be closer to Ryan's job and family. Enjoyed a family vacation this past weekend to the beauty of Arches National Park.

Ryan: Currently working for the Publishing Service Department of the Church.

Tiva: Still teaching History, her fourth year, Tiva was awarded Coach of the Year for her region for Girls Soccer. Ryan is proud of her, Tiva is humble about it. Tiva is also 6 months pregnant with our second child and daughter. Yes we are having another little girl.

Abby: She is almost 2 years old, how time flies by. She loves nursery. Her personality has really taken off, she bring smiles and laughter into our lives.

This will be Tiva's last year teaching we have decided it is time for her to be a stay home mom and nurture our children. We are acting upon faith but we know it is what the Lord has plan for us.

Visiting the Zach and Heather Mettra Family
