And off he goes...

This past Wednesday, June 26th, was the day that Jason entered the MTC.  I took him there as Scott had to work and the other kids stayed home.  It was an emotional day for me but for Jason there was nothing but excitement.  We walked to the MTC and were met at the corner by two young elders and one of them was Jason's escort.  I gave Jason a hug, told him I love him, and away he went.  I held it together really well until I couldn't see him anymore.  I find that I think about him and wonder what he's doing but I don't worry about him for one second!  What better place could he be than in the Lord's service.

I'm not sure when his p-day is but I will begin posting his letters or emails as soon as they arrive!

I Hope They Call Me On A Mission!!

Since Jason was a little boy we have looked forward to this time of his life when he would leave us and go out into the world to serve the Lord on a two year mission.  We didn't think much about where he would go but we did try to raise him so that he would be ready to go.  Jason has grown from a cute little boy to a handsome young man who has chosen to do what his Father in Heaven has asked him to do.  He is ready and anxious to begin this amazing new chapter of his life and we are excited to see all that he will do and become.


This past Sunday we traveled to Laramie, WY for Jason's farewell.  We met in the same chapel that Jason was blessed in 19 1/2 years ago.  It was humbling to hear his testimony and know that he trusts the Lord and is eager to serve.


This blog will be updated as often as we get new information and/or hear from Jason.  Jason, we love you and are so proud of you!!
