Officially a Full-time Missionary

On the evening of Tuesday, June 19th, we (Scott's immediate family and grandparents) met at the Stake Center to set Scott apart as a full-time missionary.  
It was a spiritual and emotional night.  

We are so blessed to have such an amazing Stake Presidency!  They shared a few words with us and explained the importance of full-time missionaries. President Bell told us that the stake has been keeping track of all the full-time missions served in the stake by putting a pin on a big map in the Stake offices.  They've been doing this for about 15 years and Scott is the first missionary in our stake that has been called to Panama.  That was kind of a neat thing. 

Then President Bell, Bishop Allen, Lee, Jake, and Papa Peterson set him apart as a full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
It was a beautiful evening!
