I’m impressed by tanner and all that he does. He gave his farewell talk in church today after a number of mishaps. It turns out that we put the wrong address on his invitations so as the meeting was starting, none of his friends and most of our family weren’t there. Kris went up and asked the Bishop to change the order so that Tanner spoke last. Everything worked out and Tanner delivered a very nice talk. The recording is below for you to listen to.
We had a nice reception over at the clubhouse and a number of his friends from high school came over to support him as well as a number of neighbors. We ordered way too much food and so we will be eating finger sandwiches for the next couple of weeks.
Tanner was scheduled to talk to the high council about halfway through his reception so we hustled over to the stake only to find that they had rescheduled him for next Sunday. Too bad he’ll be in the Dominican Republic at that point.
Oh well – that’s what happens in the Oldroyd clan.
I’m so happy, blessed, and excited for Elder Oldroyd. He’s prepared and anxious to serve. We are honored to be his parents.
