Dear
FTM Missionaries,
It
has been some time since we communicated with you as a group. We trust that you are progressing well
in your education, life’s work and if the time is right for you, in your
special relationships and your family.
It is pure joy for us to hear from you and learn first hand what you are
doing. We greatly enjoy updates,
pictures, announcements; all
things relating to your lives.
Since we rarely go on Facebook, we have to use the tools of the caveman
to get our information. So be
mindful of us.
As
usual, April conference was a spiritual and directional uplift for us. We are grateful for men and women
inspired to guide us as the world is changing in many ways; some good and some
not so good. To see the faith and
integrity of many like yourselves who are unmoved as right is abused and
twisted to look wrong and wrong is twisted to look right, we take heart. “As for me and my house, we will serve
the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15)
We
hope you will take a moment from time to time to peek into the blog. We keep posting some information but
there will be a lot more if you send your information to Sister Colton. So many good things are happening in your
lives that we are sure your former companions would love to hear about it. And not just on Facebook!
Our
email addresses for all of you are incomplete. Many of our missionaries who returned home after we returned
are not on my file. The
blog address is: floridatampamission-colton.blogspot.com Please forward it
to anyone you think might have an interest in the blog. There are some recent posts, and you
need to find out who is getting married and who has just paid a recent visit to
Washington DC. and a face from the
past for you to identify. Leave us a comment. If you have an e-mail address that
changes, please let us know that also.
The
Colton’s are doing well. President
Colton is still trying to solve the country’s housing finance problems and was
recently made a sealer in the Washington DC Temple. If any of you choose this temple to be married and sealed,
he would love to be part of it.
Sister Colton is also a temple worker and very busy being a grandmother
and preparing to publish a children’s book about her great, great grandmother
from Denmark.
We
send our love to each of you,
President
and Sister Colton

I just got married on March 28th in the Orlando temple to Jordan Cox. We met here at BYU and it turns out she is from Auburndale FL on the lakeland stake which is one of 2 stakes I never served in. We are living in UT and I am finishing up on finals then headed to Las Vegas for an open house. Then cruise in May and my wife's sisters wedding at the end of May. Happily married for time and all eternity. Loving life and just found out I will be a pilot in the air force as soon as I graduate which will be in Aug 2014 then headed to training. Love you Coltons!
