CALLED TO SERVE... Set Apart as a Missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Serving in the Mexico Monterrey East Mission...



A Missionary

 

President Bill Whitworth, Brayden, Bishop Mark Falkner

Tonight Brayden was set apart as a Missionary in Mexico Monterrey East Mission by our Stake President, Bishop, and Dad. As a family we had an opportunity to share our testimony and/or express words of encouragement to Brayden. It was a wonderful parting experience to share with Brayden. In attendance: Dad, Mom, Kelsey, Garett, Grandma Jo, and Uncle Neal.




Family Dinner

 

Our last dinner together as a family was Awesome. Grandma Jo requested Dad's homemade Spaghetti. We had to let her know that it was Brayden's choice for our last meal together for a time.  We were so happy to not have to disappoint her, because Brayden agreed... Dad's Homemade Spaghetti it was. Mom made Lemon Angel Delight... Yum!

Packed and Ready to Go!

 

Brayden has spent months getting ready for his mission. Mom helped him get packed the week before so that time could be spent with and as a family. After being set apart and having family dinner, we packed for the final time. We were surprised how long it took, so happy that we had planned ahead. We did send Dad to Walmart at 11:30 p.m. to get suitcase locks. We all went to bed at 12:00 Midnight.

Brayden.... 2 years, 2 suitcases "I'm Ready!"
