Pre-farewell Family Time


Tommy & Matthew

Since Tommy was leaving a week before Christmas, we decided to have a gift exchange with him for Family Home Evening before he left. After a hectic week, it was nice to spend time with each other and see each of the kids interact with one another. It was tricky coming up with gifts that Tommy

could take with him, but everyone exercised some creativity and came up with some fun and some useful gifts.

Tommy was set apart as a missionary Tuesday, December 16 at 4:00 p.m. by President Almquist. Since his flight was scheduled to depart at 6:00 p.m., we left Pres. Almquist's home and drove straight to the airport.

Jenny and her boys met us at the airport to say good-bye. Tommy was the only missionary leaving from the airport. Tommy was ready to go and even decided he'd had enough of good-byes. He went through security early and started his adventure.
