Preparation Day Fun at the Rink

Today we joined in the fun with some Daejeon missionaries at their District activity. Even with some sore ankles, uncomfortable skates and a few falls, a grand time was had by all.

A short history about us:
President Alan G. Perriton was born in Christchurch, New Zealand. He served a mission in Korea from 1965-68. He and 3 other elders opened the Daejeon area to missionary work in 1967, so this area has a special place in his heart. After his mission he attended BYU where we met and were married in the Salt Lake Temple in 1972. After graduation, he began a 34-year career with General Motors Corp. that kept the family mobile with assignments in New York, Korea, California, Tennessee, Michigan, back to Korea, and Japan before retiring in 2006.

I, Mary Perriton was born and raised in San Diego, California. I completed my college education and graduated from BYU in 2006 after taking a 34-year break to raise a family of five children! Our oldest 3 children are married, the youngest 2 are single and still attending school. We are the proud grandparents of 7!
