Starting the mission ......




We started the first week of August with welcoming home Elder Patrick Tombs - Monday, August 1 @ 3:41pm. Patrick was able to meet Lindsey Hanna and Shayla Miller as well as say hello to the Roberts and Joshua Bacon. On Tuesday the boys were able swim and have fun together. Tuesday evening the Betasso group came in to town so that Wednesday we could take pictures and preserve the precious moment that everyone could be together.

On Wednesday, August 3rd, we started the evening taking pictures on the TTU campus. We came back to the house and did a quick change into our formal outfits for William to be set apart. The Tombs family, most Betassos, Hannas (Mom, Lindsey, & Robert), Shayla Miller, and Marti Wallace were all present for William's setting apart. President Shumay, President Kimball, and President McCombs were present and shared their thoughts with William. It was a sacred experience. Afterward we walked to the temple to take more family photos.

On Thursday morning, Lindsey, Mandy, Shayla, and the Roberts met us at the airport to send William off to Manchester. From Manchester, he and a host of other missionaries were to be picked up and brought by bus to the MTC in Preston, England.

What a wonderful and blessed week.
