At this time our hearts are lifted to hear/read some of the words of President Bangerter from long ago. They remind us of a few of the truths we have carried with us since our days in Brazil and the Bangerter family first came into our lives.
They didn't leave our lives, but continued to be an influence as we gathered with them at mission reunions. Beyond those occasions are the letters of comfort when our own loved ones passed on or we shared difficulties that were challenging our lives. It was their nature to reach out in small and simple ways as we continued inviting them into our lives opening the door by a letter, a Christmas card, a phone call or dropping in on short notice to their home. We were always welcomed and greeted as if we were someone special in their lives as they were in ours. They were always there on the other side of the door--caring about us--over 600 of us and how many, many more that crossed their paths. With such a numerous family of their own, how did they do it. Reading his "Collected Works . . . ." gives a glimpse and a remembering.
