Bryson's Day

 This past Saturday was such a great day for my family. My nephew, Bryson Lawrence, went through the temple for the first time. He'll be leaving for the Mexico, Tampico mission at the beginning of September. The Lawrence family was up enjoying our family's annual Park City trip, so they decided to go through the Jordan River temple so that Bryan's family (who live in Salt Lake City) could join in. It was a wonderful experience to be there with so many loved ones. At the end, they called "Elder Lawrence" and I heard a lady near me whisper to someone, "He'll be a missionary soon." And then someone else whispered, "Wow, they look so young!" Yes, he looks young, all missionaries look so young to me now. But I really thought as I watched Bryson in the temple, that he seemed so much more mature and wise. He seems so excited and ready for his mission. He is always asking questions, and every time he talks about what is coming he has a grin on his face. I'm thankful I was able to be a part of such a special experience. And it was great that I had no problems with my babysitter... yay! Congratulations, Bryson!

Keeley (my sister) and Bryan, the proud parents.

My Dad wasn't able to come, the flights were too full. We really missed him. But here he is with Grandma Sherri.
