This past weekend I flew down to Northern California for my nephew Brad's missionary farewell. It was such a fun weekend spending time with my family. We had lots of family dinners and get togethers. And it was fun to spend a lot of time with my Mom and Dad. Saturday we went to the Sacramento temple and went through a session with Brad in preparation for his mission. It's always a neat experience to be inside the temple with family. Sunday morning Brad was set a apart as a missionary and then spoke in church. He did a great job and will be an awesome missionary. He will be serving his mission in the Chile Santiago West mission and he reports to the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Utah near Brigham Young University this Wednesday morning. He will be in the MTC for two months learning Spanish after which he will fly out to Santiago for two years. As a side note, my brother Gregg, Brad's Dad, also served his mission in the Chile Santiago mission. Isn’t that neat! Maybe Brad will run into people that his Dad taught the gospel too back 30+ years ago!
What a handsome missionary Brad makes!
Brad and his brother Mike.
Mike, Gregg, Pat, Brad, Grandma & Grandpa Smith!
Thanks for the fun and very memorable weekend. I had a great time! See you in a month in So Cal at Mike and Jessica's wedding!
