Hot Off the Presses . . . "Welcome the Task."

LeeAnn sent this great photo of Sister Geri Bangerter at the printer's.

"Glenda is holding up Mom's title page "Welcome the Task", which of course will be cut down to size.  

From left to right:

JaLayne (Paulo's wife), Paulo, Mom, Glenda and Lee Ann.  

"We saw pallets of pages from Mom's book.  It will be about 300 or so pages.  Sometime next week, Mom will get her books and take them home.  She ordered 1500 copies , , , $15.00 a copy....  We're all excited for Mom!  Heidi, Julie's youngest daughter, worked with Mom for 10 years, getting information, writting down her history, organizing the book, etc., a huge job!"

Season of Celebrating -- Geri Bangerter's 89th

Dear Beloved Brazilian Missionaries,

You are invited to join the Bangerter family in a celebration of

Geraldine Hamblin Bangerter’s 89th birthday. We are grateful for her

health and strength at this time. We have planned a season of

celebrating rather than a single day. She would love to see any of you

who are able to visit and would also be happy with a phone call.

Mother is still bright in her spirit and mind although she often uses

a walker to get around. She has made a remarkable recovery from her

stroke nearly two years ago. To commemorate good doctor reports she

went to Disneyland with Duella and her family after Christmas and had

a wonderful time riding around on Dad's motorized wheelchair.

Celebration season: Sunday February 24th  through Sunday March 3rd.

Open House times:

   Sunday, Feb. 24    2-8 PM

   Monday, Feb. 25   12-8 PM

   Sunday, March 3    2-8 PM

If you would like to come at another time during the week, call Geri

at 801.756.4236. or 801.897.0554 (cell)

Location:  Bangerter Farm, 542 S. Alpine Hwy., Alpine, UT 84004

For your information:

Geraldine’s recently printed biography, titled Welcome the Task, will

be available for purchase for $15.00 per copy for anyone who drops by

the house.   She would love to sign your copy.  She’s very excited

about this warm and charming full-color, beautifully designed 320 page

memoir.  Her granddaughter Heidi Shin has worked with her for over a

decade to transcribe interviews, search through journals and letters,

take photos and assemble artifacts. You will especially appreciate the

in-depth chapter about her time in Brazil. If you are not able to

visit for her birthday, but would like to purchase the book for

yourself and your family members, call Julie Beck, 801.518.9994, Heidi

Beck Shin 801.318.2043, or Cory Bangerter  801.885.3628.  Or, email:
