Tonight our stake president came over and set Tanner apart as a Missionary. He gave a beautiful blessing to Tanner as well.
It is hard to believe that just like that Tanner has grown up and is now an ambassador of the Lord Jesus Christ, sent to preach His word to the people of the Dominican Republic. I know that I’m a proud parent, but I truly feel that he is going to do some very important and difficult things for the people of the DR. I am so blessed to have him as a son and friend. He exemplifies the characteristics of a humble disciple. I’m excited to see what lays in store for him over the next two years.
Before that can happen we have a 6am flight to see him off. There will be even more tears from me and everyone as we send him off.
God bless and protect you Elder Oldroyd.
