I hope they call me on a mission. When I have grown a foot or two. My friend Melanie's son Nathan inherited Chris's suit from when he was young. They were here for his farewell yesterday and Chris gave Nathan a future missionary pin to wear on his suit. Just had to snap a picture of Elder Jackson and the future Elder Bushman. Seems like just yesterday that it was Chris in that suit wearing that future missionary pin. My how time flies. He's grown from a boy into a man. Chris's farewell was wonderful. He had such a large crowd of family and friends that came to listen to him speak. He gave a wonderful talk. He is so excited about going and serving the people in Mexico. He asked one of the young men in our ward to play his violin for a musical number and it was so beautiful and it really brought the Spirit into our meeting. Thanks to all the people that have been so supportive of Chris. We love you all....and we are thankful and blessed to have you in our lives.

cute photo.
I am glad his farewell talk went well... and that he had many supporters. That always helps. Strength in numbers.
I bet you will miss him something awful.

I guess you are having an emotional filled week. Would a phone call help when things settle down? Your getting one either way. I need to here all about the goodbyes.
