Tanner's farewell was this weekend. He did so great!! The program was wonderful! here are some pics of our "final festivities". :)
I can't say it enough but I'm so proud of him, and I know he will be a great missionary and will be loved by all the people in Honduras. He's ready. :)
"I believe there is nothing in all the world that can compare with the joy that a man feels when he realizes that he has been the instrument in the hands of the living God of reaching some honest heart, inspiring in it a love of God and the desire to serve Him."

aw this made me teary eyed, it reminded me when my sister sent off alec. Youll be the best Missionary GF. Love ya.
Aww Leah I know it must be so hard for you right now. It's such a bitter/sweet feeling huh? It didn't hit me until like the 4th night that Landry had been gone that I wasn't going to see him for two years and I had a complete breakdown. All I kept saying to my mom (through awful sobs) was "I just wish it was 3 months from now...at least 3 months" and now it's been 6 1/2 months! Everyone always tells me it will go by fast and I never believe them...but looking back these 6 months did go kinda quick. Anyways, what I'm trying to say is...we're in the same boat girl and I know that nothing is harder than those first couple weeks so please please PLEASE feel free to text/call me if you need anything. 370-5132 :) I promise it will get better when you get that first letter.
p.s. I LOVE that quote...I'm going to send it to Elder Peterson if that's okay. :)
thanks girls!! It's hard, and it will probably get even harder, but I would be so much more sad if he wasn't going. ya know? I'm just trying to stay positive. :)
