Meet the parents

Jody and Rhonda Carter, Ruth Ann and Joke Kokkonen in Morgan, Utah
Sisar Carter and Sisar Kokkonen in Tampere, Finland
It's such a small world! Sisar Carter and Sisar Kokkonen discovered that our families have mutual friends, Robert and Angé Workman. The Workmans and the Kokkonens lived by each other in the Alpine Area years ago. Throughout the years they have remained friends and when the Kokkonens visited the Workmans at Tifie Ranch in Morgan last week they stopped by our house so we could meet. We enjoyed talking with them and getting to know them and we look forward to meeting Andrea Kokkonen in person when she and Jess are home from their missions. Joke was born in Finland, and he went to BYU on a track scholarship. He was baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints a couple of years later and fell in love with Ruth Ann. Andrea Kokkonen is the second of their children to serve a mission in Finland. What a blessing it was to meet the Kokkonens!
