One Year

October 7th marks one year a missionary for Timmy!

It always goes so fast.  And the second year 

goes even quicker.  He has spent the last six

months in the office serving as secretary to the

President of the mission.  He grew to love it and

really learned a lot of valuable skills.  He even had 

many finding, teaching, and baptizing opportunities.

Here he is out to lunch on his p-day celebrating his

one year mark(although he is in no hurry to 

have his mission come to an end)!

Carson Jesus Romney

Arrived June 14, 2016

8 pounds, 1 oz.

20 inches

Proud parents:

Michael and Carina Romney

Cute brothers:

Sebastian and Mason

He is a beautiful baby boy that mostly 

resembles his mama at this point, anyway!

Mike and Carina will definitely have their 

hands full with three little boys under three

years in age, and Mason and Carson are just

thirteen months apart!  Mike, fortunately, is given paternity 

leave with his job at the Federal Reserve.  That has been tremendously helpful to their family!  They also just bought a new home in Gilbert, Arizona and have been very busy moving and getting 

settled in.

Six months

As of April 6th, Timmy has been out on his mission 

for six months.  Six months!  He truly is loving his mission.  

It is difficult and challenging, but he

works hard and takes his calling very seriously.  I'm so

thankful for that.  I know there is nothing more important

that he could be doing with his life at this time.  What

a blessing it is to have this opportunity.  

We miss his funny personality, his laugh, and his energy.

Baby Scotty

Greg and Lizz gave birth to their third

child on Easter Sunday, March 27th!

 Scott Antonio Romney

8 lbs., 14 oz., 21 inches

He looks just like his daddy, and he even

came home from the hospital wearing the 

same outfit Greg wore when we brought 

him home over 25 years ago!

He's a darling little boy.  Grandbaby #5!

Home

Johnathon returned home from serving a two-year

mission in the Chile Santiago South Mission

on Friday, November 13th.

I love the anticipation of seeing them for the

first time and getting that first hug!!!

He looked so exhausted! And thin!

He was released by the stake president that evening, and

then the next day he flew to Utah to visit Timmy in

the MTC and say goodbye to him before he left for his 

mission in Cordoba, Argentina!  I just love this picture

of the two of them!  What a sweet opportunity to say 

hello and goodbye to each other after not seeing one 

another for two years.

See ya in two years.

 On October 6th, Elder Timothy H. Romney was set apart as a 

missionary by President Hiatt of the Mesa Central

Stake.  He asked Elder Romney to bare his testimony, and Tim

expressed his love of the Savior and the atonement and 

his desire to bring that message to the people of 

Argentina.  After the setting apart, we went to Texas

Roadhouse as a family for dinner.

After dinner, we came home and Timmy finished packing.

J.R. and Samuel Langston came over to visit for awhile, too.

We had to leave for the airport the next morning by 6:00 AM for

his 7:45 AM flight to Provo, Utah.

Everyone took turns saying goodbye and

giving a last hug!

I know that there is no better thing that Tim

could be doing with his life at this time.

I'm thankful for his desire to serve and

for his testimony.  I'm excited to receive his

weekly emails and watch him grow into a man.

Farewell Sunday

Tim gave his farewell talk in sacrament meeting 

on Sunday.  He did a really good job, too!

I'm always amazed (and thankful) that these boys really

do grow up!  I'm so proud of him and his desire to serve

the Lord for two years in Argentina.  He has made great 

strides, and we've had a fun summer being home together.  

I've loved how he has made his family a priority and spent a lot 

of time with us.  I'm gonna miss him, for sure! But I know he is doing the best thing he could be doing at this time in his life.
