Jamie and Sister Clarke
Brother Clark
Seema, Jared, Little Red and Sister Clark at their home in AZ.
Seema , Jared and Little Red catching up with all the TT gossip!At the Clark's House in Az!
So the weird thing happened... a long story but a good one. Jared, Seema, Alma and I all went down the the Mesa, AZ Temple to do some work for Seema and her family. Her father (Bro. Lutchman, my dad's BF) died a few years ago and they wanted to be sealed to him and to get some work done for her uncles and her grandparents on both sides. This was a bit difficult because it wasn't just work that had to be done for the dead or the living but for both. That makes the work a bit more complicated... a.k.a a lot of paper work and a lot of running around.
Well after getting everything ready to be done, which took a little over 4 hours, we were finally on our way to the endowment session... Jared was going to act a proxy for Bro. Lutchman. As we were heading to the endowment session one of the temple workers told us that the temple president and his wife served a mission in the West Indies. She wanted to know if we would like to meet them and to say hi. We asked what their names were... Surprisingly they were the Clark's they served as the first CES couple and were situated in Trinidad. I spent a lot of time with them helping to write email and letters to the other islands, Jared spent a lot of time with them also and Seema was a Institute President for Arima and had meetings with the Clark's on a regular basis.
It was a real treat when we finally got to see them, they were so happy to see us all... We all couldn't believe so much time had passed since our last meeting. They were so happy for Seema, her mother and sister for getting their family sealed together for time and eternity. They were also so surprised to know that Jared and I had 3 kids! After all the last time they saw me I was engaged to Jared...It was just a happy surprise!
We had been looking for them online, on FB and other places but no luck, and then while we are at the temple getting work done they were there... and they were the temple President and the Matron.... what a wonderful day that was! We hope to see them again soon!
