A Small Back Track to Ty's Farwell

Grandma Atkinson, Grandma and Grandpa McBride, and Harris and I were able to go out to Colorado for Ty's Mission Farewell. We got to do a few different activities as a family before he left. We went to a driving range to hit some golf balls. It was so funny because I think that everyone broke at least 10 tees. It was fun to get some practice in and hang with Ty.



Mom, Lindsey, Shaun, Ty, Harris and I got to go fishing together too. It was funny because by the time that we got to the ponds, it was almost pitch black. We did not catch anything but we got a lot of casting practice ;) Ty also got to un-snag quite a few peoples lines from out of the cat tails.




On Sunday Tyler gave his farewell talk and did such a great job! He made all of us cry, even the Bishop. He bore such a strong testimony, that no one in that meeting would doubt that he knows of the power of the gospel. After church we had a little photo shoot to get some last pictures with Tyler.

Later that night mom and dad had a little get-together for friends to say goodbye to Ty for two years. The Young Women in the ward came and sang Ty a special farewell song to him and it was so cute! He really is going to be a great missionary.
