Following a brief courtship, Randy served as a missionary in New Zealand from 1970-72. When he returned, the pair married in the Salt Lake City Temple.
During their life together, Linda dedicated her time to rearing seven children, and, later, as a school teacher for children with special needs. Randall worked as a television news reporter for 20 years. He later entered the public relations arena for two more decades. Job changes gave the growing family exposure to people of different values and cultures throughout Utah, Arizona, Oregon, and Washington.
After raising their children, the pair again left the U.S. to serve as missionaries in British Columbia, Canada, where they were assigned as authors for the new Canada.lds.org website. The couple published scores of articles for the website during their 23 month assignment.
Later, they determined to return to the land of Randy's first mission - New Zealand. For three months, Randall and Linda scoured the islands, searching for stories of faith. After hearing scores of inspiring accounts from Matauri Bay in the northland, to Invercargill on the south, the pair put the compelling stories to print.
In this volume, the reader will absorb the principles of sacrifice, sorrow, repentance, and satisfaction, and, it is hoped, gain an appreciation for a people who, possessing so little, have made substantial progress toward the eternal.
