Sunday evening July 10, 2011 Bruce and I along with our family, went to the stake building to get set apart as missionaries. Casey was ordained by Bruce to be a High Priest. Johnny and Rick Lyman, Casey’s father-in-law, stood in also. The Stake president talked about the Hall name and Grandpa Denton and what hard working legacy he had passed on. It was so sweet and very emotional. Then he gave some remarks about serving in the mission field and setting examples. Then all the boys and son-in-laws stood in while Bruce was set apart as a missionary. It was a beautiful blessing and he was given much council and instructed to write in a journal to keep his eyes open and be aware of the needs of the people. My blessing was equally as sweet and so meaningful to me. President Griffin commented on my past calling with the Young Women and how much I loved the youth and I felt very validated. He also blessed us that we would be safe and return home well. I just wish I could have had a recorder.
We went home that night and packed.
We left at 8:30 and arrived at the MTC at 10 ish. Most of the day was filled with information and instructions. There are about 26 couples, most from the western states, going to all parts of the world.
We were surprised how many were going on Young Adult Support Missions. Also a lot of CES missions in many different countries. One couple was assigned to a military base in Florida where they would be military support missionaries. They are all extremely friendly and so far all seem quite positive.
We attended the fireside this evening until 8:30 and then hurried back to the apartment to get ready for our discussion presentation tomorrow.
