An AMAZING night!!!!

The day started out with Tai and Garrett heading off to school. But only a couple of hours later they were both checked out and we spent our last full day together. After stops at the distribution center, the bank and Sam's Club, we came home and packed the remainder of Wilson's stuff into his already stuffed suitcases. I think we have everything but I guess we'll hear from him if he's missing something. Around 7pm we headed over to the Stake Center and Pres. McCleary set him apart as a full-time missionary. It was an amazing experience. He was blessed with so many things and I believe that he will be in the Lord's care for the next 2 years.

Set apart and ready to go!!!
Testimonies were shared, tears were shed, words of encouragement were given. The spirit was so strong and a feeling of great joy was felt. The night was capped off by a beautiful medley of hymns on the violin played by Aunt Jen and Uncle Mike giving a solemn and heartfelt prayer. Afterwards, Bishop and his beautiful wife, Kim sang "God Be With You" and then we all joined in. I've never been more happy and I hope that Wilson will remember this night forever.
