S.E.M. Podcast - Scotland, Edinburgh Mission S.E.M. Podcast - Jack Bryce & Zack Hewlett

This is a special episode to make all those listeners aware that our friend and fellow S.E.M. Missionary, Quin Kofford, passed away last week.

His funeral services are on Saturday, May 4th, at 11:00 AM at the Chase Lane Ward, 1125 North 400 West, Centerville, Utah where a viewing will be held Friday evening from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. and Saturday morning 9:30 -10:30 a.m. prior to services.

As a way to pay tribute to Quin, I am asking that all of Quin's friends from the S.E.M. send in a recorded memory that I can compile as a tribute to this great man that we lost far too soon. Send your recorded messages to sempodcast@51spylaw.com.

Thanks!

Jared Musser served in the Scotland, Edinburgh Mission for a few days before the merger with Ireland took place. He was part of the last group of missionaries officially called to the S.E.M. Upon arriving in Scotland, he found himself promptly moved to an area in Ireland. Jared's mission was filled with many wonderful experiences, and he quite literally bounced back and forth between Ireland and Scotland his entire mission. His craziest experience was learning to drive a manual transmission car for the first time, while also driving on the lefthand side of the road!

Jared currently lives in Maryville, Tennessee, with his wife and their 2 children.

Keenan Price served in the Scotland, Edinburgh Mission from January 2006 through January 2008. After waiting much longer to receive his call, he was relieved to know that he was called to the correct mission and had a great trainer (Cameron McDonald). Keenan worked hard and saw much success in his mission. He experienced multiple funeral services of beloved people, overcoming challenging situations including an elderly woman pinching his backside, and he served from the south to the north of the mission! Keenan was an excellent example to many throughout his mission and loved each of his companions!

Keenan currently lives in Bountiful, Utah, with his wife and their 3 children.
