Man in the Million Dollar Mansion

In the elevator.
Baby grand in the bay window
No kitchen clautrophobia here

You've heard Jory’s current digs are neighbors to Steven R Covey & the NuSkin folks. The Crosman's & Schmidt’s went to Hillside Drive in Provo for FHE in November. We weren’t prepared for the spacious 10,000 foot mansion with the 200 foot diagonally inclined driveway. A fellow Rain Tree dweller, invited Jory to stay at his place. Brandon's family moved to England & poor him, alone in their 25 room house.

With a twisting of the arm, free rent and a bedroom of his own, Jory attacked like a cougar on the prowl, moving in lock, stock & from trunk of his car before midnight that day. They wisely hire college coed’s to prepare Sunday meals, cleanup & such.

After taking an ‘eat your heart out’ tour of the 10x14 ft screen theatre, 4 fireplaces & stairways, 20 person dining room table, sunroom, pool and a kitchen to die for, Mauri, nearly walked away with the 4x6 Greg Olson art pieces.

While there Jory gave the FHE lesson, telling of the blessings and joy that come from daily scripture reading. He talked of the powerful example, Dad, has been to him over the years reading daily. We were challenged to start or continue studying the scriptures.

He reminded us of Pres Hinkley’s promise: ‘There will come into you homes & lives an added measure of the Spirit of the Lord, a strengthened resolution to walk in obedience to His commandments, and a stronger testimony of the living reality of the Son of God.’ We will share our monthly lessons to help us all ‘Come Unto Christ’ more fully & hope to hold them whevever you are here.
