Skyler's Mission Blog

I added a site to keep track of everything happening on Skyler's mission. The link is on the right hand side under our family picture. I will add pictures as he sends them and add his letters so everybody can see how he is doing. Thanks for all your support, we love you all.

Grandma Mary






Early Tuesday morning March 10 I lost someone very special to me. My Grandma Mary passed away. I had the awesome opportunity to be by her side the last couple of days of her life. I love her so much and am so grateful for the example she was to me my whole life. She was an amazing woman and I will miss her greatly. The day of her funeral was absolutely gorgeous, lots of bright sunshine just liked she loved. After her funeral Grandpa took us all to Maddox, it was a great way to be together and enjoy each others company...Thanks grandpa I love you.

Becoming a Missionary and entering the MTC


Tuesday night we went over to the Stake Center and the Stake Presidency set Skyler apart as a Missionary, it was an awesome experience and very emotional. We had a lot of family and a few close friends there and it made it special. Wednesday we had to be in Provo at the MTC at 11:30. Skyler went out to breakfast with his Dad and brothers and then we all headed down to Provo. It was quite an experience.

What A Week

Having a gReAt tImE.

It has been a week full of craziness. It started last Sunday with Skyler's mission farewell. Sacrament meeting was awesome, Skyler did a great job on his talk and had me in tears right when he started talking. I am so proud of him he will be an awesome missionary in Tahiti. After Sacrament meeting we came back to the house...all 60+ friends and family, it was great. Everyone pitched in and brought egg casseroles, fruit, homemade cinnamon and orange sweet rolls, muffins and breads, and milks and orange juice, Thanks everyone for helping me I could not have done it alone.
