It is the 200th
anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens and in his words, we would like to
share a bit of the past, present and future from the home of the Williams
Family.
Brandt is our basketball
boy. He won 3 gold medals and 1 silver at the Utah Summer Games this summer. At
Snow College basketball camp, he was named the MVP for scoring the winning free
throws which gave his team the championship. This fall, he won the Hoop-Shoot
contest so he gets to go to state in January! His nickname at school is “La
Brandt”. He’s a great kid with lots of enthusiasm. 
Raina plays the piano and
is now teaching! She entered SSHS and
has enjoyed running on the Cross Country team where she had the opportunity to
run with her team at state. In the fall, Raina was a ‘bird-girl’ in the musical
“Suessical” where she had a blast performing in a bright pink wig. Raina stays
busy working on student council as a freshman officer and has fun with lots of
friends.
Aubree got her first job
in April and she works at Bullies serving up burgers and fries with a smile.
She also spends a lot of time working as Junior class secretary, 4-H teen
council and ambassadors, National Honor Society, yearbook, and many other fun
and exciting things. She also performed in the Suessical Musical and was a Bird
Girl extraordinaire donning an electric blue wig.
Talon is now Elder
Williams. He was called to serve in the Santa Rosa, California Mission on
departed in June. Previous to this, he spent a year at Southern Utah University
and had a great learning experience. He loves his mission and loves the people
he is serving with. He knows that God has called him to the work and he has
devoted his whole heart and soul to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Chad and Laura are older
and wiser…mostly wiser. J We spent some time in New England this summer and
thoroughly enjoyed visiting Concord, Boston, Lexington, Plymouth, and other
historic places in Massachusetts. Chad retired from the National Guard in May
after 20+ years of service. He is still
the Team Leader at CUCC and has also started a private practice called
Discovery Counseling. Laura continues to love teaching at Leadership Education
Academy which is an online school and she loves her students.
Our final wish to you was also
penned by Dickens: “God bless us, every one!”
With love,
Chad, Laura, Talon,
Aubree, Raina, and Brandt Williams
