Grammy and Papa threw Scott a mission party to celebrate his call.
It was fun for the family to get together and talk with Scott about his mission and offer love and support.
We drove up and saw a huge sign set up in their front yard...
Cricket made it and Papa mounted it on plywood.
Grammy, Cricket, and the girls decorated it with Panama flags.
It was so cool!
We visited and then Papa gathered everyone together.
He told everyone how proud he was of Scott and talked about how Scott has been working for a long time preparing to serve his mission. He wanted everyone to know that it wasn't a decision that Scott made without thought and prayer.
Scott, then, told everyone how he's really been preparing his whole life for his mission -- especially over the past year. He's studied the scriptures and challenged all his younger cousins to read the Book of Mormon. He attended his church meetings and took a missionary preparation class at the Institute. He studied the Preach My Gospel book with his roommates.
He had to go to the dentist and doctor and has to get a lot of shots.
He also shared some of the things he will have to bring on his mission.
Scott has been blessed to have family members help him buy a lot of what he will need on his mission like pants, shirts, shoes, etc.
It takes a lot to send a missionary out and
we are all grateful to those who have helped with this!
THANK YOU!!!
Thank you Grammy and Papa for getting the family together to honor Scott!
It was a good time!
