My Day at the Boise Temple

Today was a really special experience for me.  I was able to go through the Boise temple for my own endowment.  Many of my family (parents and grandparents) and family friends were in attendance.  The day was made more memorable because I was able to share it with my best friend Tyson Legg who was also preparing to serve a mission in the Georgia Macon mission.

After our temple session, we celebrated as a combined group of family and friends over dinner.  It was special to me as it was the last time I would see many of the people there before leaving on my mission.  Lucky for me, Tyson and I got to hang-out in Seattle for a few weeks.

Here is a photo of Tyson and I getting ready to go to the Seattle temple with my grandparents.

Missionary Farewell

Today I gave my Missionary Farewell talk in Sacrament meeting in the Middleton, Idaho YSA ward.  It was great to see a lot of my family and friends in attendance.  It is nice to know I have such an awesome support group.
