"Charity is having patience with someone who has let us down. It is resisting the impulse to become offended easily. It is accepting weaknesses and shortcomings. It is accepting people as they truly are. It is looking beyond physical appearances to attributes that will not dim through time. It is resisting the impulse to categorize others."
President Thomas S. Monson
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
Monte grew up in Payette, ID and is the youngest of 8 boys-all starting with the letter M. He wresteled in high school and enjoyed hanging out with friends and working on trucks.
I grew up in Middleton, ID and am the oldest of 7 kids. I played soccer in high school and also did stats for the boys basketball team. I enjoyed stake dances, dating, and making cookies.
Monte searved a full time mission in the Canada, Calgary Mission. After only being home for a few weeks from his mission my laurel teacher (his sister-in-law) introduced us at church. We dated for a couple of months and were engaged a week after I graduated. We have been married for 7 years. We just added our 4 child-a boy: McCall Bronco. Life is a little more crazy with four-defiantly an adjustment! We live in Kansas in a bi level house on 3 acres. We love being out in the counrty again. Monte manages a pest control business for my dad. It keeps him busy...especially when he sells in the summertime. We live just over 2 hours from my parents and are enjoying life here in the Midwest.
