Garrett's mission begins

I decided to start this blog to record Garrett's mission letters, pictures, and anything that he sends to us. I thought he may enjoy this memory.

This journey began last night when Garrett was set apart by President McKinley. He began our meeting with all present giving Garrett advise. Afterwhich he set him apart and have him a beautiful blessing. He was blessed with health in body and mind.  Blessed with the desire to be obedient and to ability to work hard.

 

Aaron Penny who has been Garrett's boss and friend for a couple of years came to support him. 


Of course mom and dad came. John have Garrett wonderful advise. He encouraged him to learn who Christ is and to become friends with him and to rely on him. 

This morning we all woke up before ran to get ti the airport by 4:30. We we close to being on time but we weren't worried because Spokane is pretty small and quick to go through TSA.  

As we arrived Garrett seemed calm get nervous. He would  would say otherwise. Once he git checked in we got a few pictures and then said out good bye. It was hard to see him leave knowing it will be 2 years until I get to hug him again. We are all so proud of him and am excited to see all the adventures he has while serving the Lord. 


He's ready to get started. 


The family together bright and early to say good bye.




 There he goes into the world to serve the Lord.


The family is now different. One is missing but we a know he is where he needs to be. I can't wait to see the amazing man he will become.
