Last night at mutual the Laurels were talking about their Seminary teachers and how cool they are. They have 2 teachers at Basha High. I knew that Bro. Trent Allen is one of them. Some of you may know Trent, but if you don't, and you grew up in my neck of the woods, you may know his wife Rochelle (Ainsworth) Allen. I told the girls that Eric & I both had connections to them, cuz their younger sibs were some of our very best friends. Then one of the Laurels said her sis-in-law grew up with Rochelle. What?!?! I asked who it was and she said Kristin (Tait) Barrett. No way!!! My fam &the Tait fam have been close for years, and Eric's dad & Allan Tait are cousins. (I think that's the relation.) CRAZY, huh!
After talking about our Tait family connections for a while we got back to who the other seminary teacher was. Come to find out, it's Bro. Peter Larsen. What?!?! HE WAS MY SEMINARY TEACHER!!! Our Bishop is an institute teacher and knows most Seminary teachers, so I asked him if it really was the same BL(that's what we called him) that was my teacher. He said he knew that he had taught in Tempe, but didn't know where. So I sent my Laurels to school today with the mission of finding out if it was the same Bro. Larsen.
I just got a text from one of them, and it is!!! And he still remembers me and my fam. (Is that good, or bad???) I'll have to go over and say "hey" sometime.
What a small world!

That is craziness! I knew that BL had transferred to Hamileton or something like that. That is just crazy!
I knew he was out there somewhere. Doesn't he have like 18 kids by now. :) You gotta love BL. He put up with SO much crap from me. I'm not sure whether he'd be happy to see me or run for cover! If you see him tell him hey & WE LOVE BL!
Wow! It's a very small world when you're a MORMON! He, he, he!
Funny you would mention that, Emily. I had known that he was the teacher there..he was also a Bishop in my brother Clynn's and my sister Bev's ward in Seville. I bet he was a great bishop. Also, this week, as I was teaching Alyssa Brown a piano lesson, Bro. Larson came up and I told her to call him BL and see what he did! (She said she didn't know that nickname for him) Can't wait to see his reaction!
