Since we don't call them "farewells" anymore it's just an opportunity to speak in Sacrament Meeting before you leave on your mission. And my parents didn't even really have to speak the Bishop just asked them to bear their testimonies. Sarah and I decided to surprise my parents by driving to Vegas for their "farewell". Neither of us told them we were coming and so the look on their faces when we walked into the chapel was priceless. It was a wonderful meeting and my parents both did great. After the meeting we all went to their bare house that was pretty much all packed up for some yummy food April had made for us:
 |
| The "original" Anderson Clan |
 |
| Denise, Dennis, Sarah, Paul, Marsha |
 |
| Sarah, Mom, Dad, Cameron and Miles |
 |
| Grandma and Grandpa with 4 of the 5 Ashworth boys. Tyler had finals and had to stay in Utah. |
 |
| Paul and April's family |
 |
| Everyone hanging out in the bare house |
 |
The whole group after the setting apart by the Stake President.
What a great experience that was. I'm so thankful we were able to be a part of it. |
