It has been a crazy last couple of days. We have gone through a world wind of emotions. I had to call all of our family and tell them that there would be no farewell. Hotel reservations had to be cancelled and all of our family except for Dave's brother live up north. They arranged their schedules so that they could come, took off work and school.
I think that is what was really the biggest disappointment was Tyson wasn't able to see them and to say goodbye.
We want to thank all those who made plans to come to Tyson's farewell talk and party and we will celebrate in two years when he comes home.
Tyson had a really good attitude about the whole thing and Spencer told him that if he did all he could to do whatever he is ask, he will have a great mission. We don't know the reason for his early departure, but we know that the Lord needed him and we were able to get him there on time thanks to our office staff and friends who pitched in to help.
We were able to meet both Grandma Afton and Grandma Lois in Provo with Aunt RaeLynn and Aunt Ruth and have a bite to eat before we went to the MTC. We stopped at the missionary mall and picked up a few last minute things and went to the MTC. I was amazed at how big the campus is and how many missionaries were checking in at the same time. The gospel is true and is moving forward. Needless to say I wasn't the only one crying.

Of course you wern't the only one crying. every mom wants nothing more than to see there child becom a missionary, and yet I think it must be one of the hardest things to go through also. My hats off to ALL missionary moms, who must two years to see htere children again, what a sacrifice for not only the missionary, but the family. However, you must be SO PROUD!
