Andrew's temple date

What an ordeal it was trying to pick a day for Andrew to receive his endowments at the temple!

Due to Glen's busy schedule and things like the temple being closed the first 2 weeks of June, we were down to 4 days to choose from...and no matter which day we pick, there were problems for various family members.

We finally settled on Friday May 15th at 6 pm...the sad part being that Elder Bednar is speaking to the 18-32 year olds in Reno that night, so Andrew will miss it. :(

But we are still excited for him!!!

It's Des Moines, Iowa!

The clan gathered in for the big moment...


Does he look a bit apprehensive to you?


So relieved...to be going English speaking!

His papers had been sent in on April 12th.
His call arrived on April 27th.
He will be reporting to the MTC in Provo on June 24th.

His mission area includes a small part of South Dakota (where Glen had guessed) and an even smaller part of Illinois (where Hannah had guessed). His cousin Mindy will be moving to Iowa this summer while her husband attends school there. The Nauvoo temple isn't too far from there...

His mission president (who has been out almost 2 years...so Andrew will be getting a new president half-way through) is Gordon Lyle Talbot of Sandy, Utah.

We are so excited and thrilled!
