Tyson's letter from his mission President.
We received two letters from Tyson's mission President. One was addressed to Tyson and one was addressed to his parents.
Tyson's letter gave him advice about the weather and things he should read to prepare for his mission. Our letter was about the same. It had instructions for packing and some inspirational instructions as well. It was exciting and made it seem more real that he will be leaving soon.
We are going to have an open house for Ty's friends and family that can come on Saturday November 22nd at 7:00 at our house.
Tyson and I had a date Saturday, we went to lunch and then went shopping for his "stuff" two years is a long time and I am amazed at all the things that he will need.
We have been getting a lot of advice from friends who have and had missionaries out. I really appreciate all of their advice. We had a good time and got a lot done.
Dave and Tyson are hometeaching partners and Dave is the mission leader in our ward. So- he includes Ty in some of his missionary work. Ty has taught the Gospel Principles class a couple of times and does a great job. On Thursday they had a great day of missionary work. They got to see and talk to people that they have been trying to catch up to for over a year. They both came home excited about the gospel and missionary service. Dave said he felt like he was Tyson's first companion. We are all excited for the blessings that will come to Tyson and our family through his service and are feeling some of those effects already.

This is Graham's first birthday party. The party was at our house on his Birthday July 23, 2008. Mom and Dad Natalie and Spencer were there of course. Grandma and Grandpa Graham brought Graham's cousin Caitlin. Grandma and Grandpa Pettegrew and Uncle Tyson were there to share in his special day. Aunt Chelsea was at EFY in BYU Idaho, but she called and gathered some of her friends and sang Happy Birthday to Graham on the phone.
As you can see Graham enjoyed his cake, some of it actually made it in his mouth. He had more fun chasing the balloons than anything else.

I am new to this blogging bit so I am going to back track a little.
Tyson got his mission call. He is going to Curitiba Brazil. He leaves for the Sao Paulo Brazil MTC November 25th from the St. George Airport and will arrive in Brazil the morning of the 26th.
He is really excited and just got his temple recommend and is excited to go to the temple. He wants to go soon so he can go to the Temple in St. George as much as he can before he leaves. We just found out that his "farewell" talk will be November 23rd. Our Sacrament meeting is at 1:00 at the Main Street chapel in Ivins, Utah.
