Former BC Mission President Now Temple President
CARDSTON - Formerly president of the Canada Vancouver Mission from
1992-1995, Heber Blaine Kapp, 74, was recently called as president of the
Cardston Alberta Temple.
Western Canada isn't unfamiliar territory to President Kapp. He had served
in the Western Canadian Mission from 1947-1949, and even married a girl from
the Cardston area. Many may remember his wife as more than a mission mum to
thousands of missionaries during those three years. Sister Ardeth Green Kapp
had served as both president and counsellor in the general Young Women
presidency. But she is most likely more famous for her inspirational and
motivational music and arrangements.
President and Sister Kapp come to Cardston from the Canyon Park Ward,
Bountiful Utah Central Stake. Both of them bring with them years of
leadership experience.
In addition to his stint as mission president, President Kapp, a retired
educator and building contractor, has served as regional representative,
temple sealer, stake president and counsellor, high councillor, bishop,
stake Young Men president and counsellor. Sister Kapp, an alumnus of the
University of Utah and BYU, has served as general Young Women president and
counsellor, Church curriculum committee member, youth correlation committee
member, BYU faculty member, temple ordinance worker and stake Relief Society
president. She received a masters' degree from BYU, and bachelor's degree
from the University of Utah. She was born in Cardston, Alberta, to Edwin
Kent and Julia Leavitt Greene.
President Kapp is the son of Harm and Pieterka Boekweg Kapp and Sister Kapp
is the daughter of Edwin Kent and Julia Leavitt Greene.
