Shaylee's Farewell was June 29th. Brecken was asked to speak with her as the youth speaker. He was pretty upset as he just spoke a couple months before this and it was the same topic on missionary work, but he did a great job and i'm super proud of him for speaking in front of people. Shaylee was of course as cool and collected as could be. She doesn't mind speaking in public and she does a great job. Hearing both kids speak made Dean and I tear up hearing their testimonies and love for our savior. I love hearing them share their thought and faith with others. Shaylee let everyone know that she was not to excited for the cold canada weather because she hates the cold and has raynaud's. She will be a great missionary and we are all so excited for her. After church we came back to the house and had some lunch for everyone that came. It was good to see so many people who love our little family and support us. We had fun visiting and talking. Later that evening the stake president and bishop came over so that they could set apart Shaylee as a missionary so she could start her MtC training the next day on the 30th. The spirit was strong as she was given the blessing and set apart to be a spokesperson for our savior and his church. Shaylee will be at home MTC for a little over a week, and then on july 9th we will take her up to the MTC in provo and drop her off.
