An Official Missionary

As of last night, {ok, this was written a long time ago....February 20th to be exact I wrote this post} Tanner became a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
The Spirit was incredibly strong and I felt blessed to be there.

People who were over for the setting apart were::
Rock and Suzanne
Adam & Vanessa {Anika, Noah, Brigham, Titus}
Aaron & Marissa {Abi, Hayden}
Braden & me-Mandy {Brightyn}
Grandma and Rex
Sam
Connor
Bishop and the Bishop's wife
and the Stake President

Here are some pictures from that special night::

 The "serious" look.....love Suzanne's here... lol!
AND LOVE this one!!

It was a special experience and Elder Boyer will leave for the MTC on the February 22nd. Since I've been living at the Boyer's, I have been able to see just how excited and ready Tanner is for his mission. He is in his room and studies the scriptures and Preach My Gospel literally for hours each day and has been going to the temple at LEAST every other day, normally every day. {one day he went twice!} He is such a great example and I know {along with EVERYONE else who knows him} that he will be an amazing missionary. He has a strong testimony and we couldn't be more excited for his mission to start.

I will post his first letter when we get it!
