We sang this song today in church and our awesome neighbor Rachel Gillette sent me this amazing picture today of my wife Jen Bringhurst reading to Xavier. I thought I'd share both since they go together so well.

MTC Day – Life moves pretty fast
As I opened Facebook today, a flood of memories and feelings came to me as I saw pictures of what was going on two years ago on this day. In some ways two years is not a long time. We've had a lot of change in our life over the past two years (as I'm... Continue Reading →

President Nelson visits Seattle

Let’s backtrack. I own a company that imports cables and we... Continue Reading →
Carcassonne, France

Brother Brandt
Have you ever had a thought like, "I should really thank so-and-so for ...." Or even something like, "I sure do appreciate this person ......"?
