Jaydan's Farewell

Today was Jaydan's farewell for his mission. He did a great job on his talk. We were worried that he wouldn't take his 15 minutes but he surprised us all and took the whole time. Eric Monson was going to speak with him and take up the rest of the time but Jaydan took his time too. I have had a lot of people comment on what a great talk it was. It held people's attention and had a good message. Jaydan spoke on preparing for a mission and what a mission is all about.

He had so much support from everyone. The Church was packed! Someone said there were 376 people there where usually we have just under 200. I am so thankful for the love and support that our family always gets. It's so nice to have. Jaydan had a ton of friends come and many more that texted him all day and said they were sorry that they didn't make it. (we would have ran out of food if there would have been more) I know it made Jaydan feel good to see so many people come and support him.

It was a nice, sunny day and we were able to enjoy it by being outside. We had people here constantly until 10:00 pm. People kept stopping by to see Jaydan and wish him well. Jaydan is loved and he will be able to share that love with the people in Uruguay real soon. Jaydan will be an awesome missionary. He sure is a blessing to our family and by the looks of it today, many other families too. Jaydan makes life enjoyble and will be a blessing to his companions and those he teaches.
