Surprise gift picture after he got to his gate!!

Some sweet angels were travelling to pick up their son in Guatemala, and took this of all the missionaries going to Guatemala!!  So fun to get a picture of him--even if it was 10 minutes after we said goodbye to him!! :-)

The Setting Apart!

July 20, 2015:

It was an emotional and spiritual night--so full of love!  What a blessing to have this son and a family to share life with!!

                Fun pictures after that wonderful experience!!

Spencer & Caden!!   Spencer & Hunter!!            Spencer & Bree!!

Spencer & Jarrett!        Spencer & Mom!           Spencer & Dad!

It was sooo cute! Jarrett never will wear his suit coat.  But, tonight, he went up and put it on so he could look like Spencer! Sweet, huh! This is what he looked like quickly afterwards!

(Church pants come off and he's ready to play!!)

The Airport!!!

July 21, 2015:

Spencer was so cute!  He had heard a rumor that everyone who enters the Guatemalan MTC gets their hair buzzed.  He asked me to give him one last haircut just a little bit shorter, because he didn't want to get one because his hair was too long.  If they buzzed everyone, that would be a funny story...but he definitely didn't want one because he wasn't obedient!  Just another example of his great desire to be obedient!

He will be an incredible missionary because of this!!

We left for the airport at about 7:30pm.  It was definitely surreal to be at this point!!

Watching him check in and do everything was just so amazing!  He has grown up so much---

and will grow up even more in these next two years!!

He's got the whole crew with him for moral support!!

Check in complete, now it's time to head up stairs!!

He wore his "wardie" tie!

Signed by Matt, Parker, and Taylor...they all have one like it that they can wear to feel the support of everyone else out serving their missions, too!

We had to stand tallest to shortest to see how much they grow while Spencer's gone!!

Saying goodbye to Bree!!

One last squeeze from Jarrett!!

A measuring height picture and last hug from Hunter!!

Last words and hug for Caden!!

Now it's Mom's turn!!

One last hug from Dad!!

Our family picture!

More hugs and goodbyes!!!

  

It's just hard to let him go!!   

Now, he's made it to the security gates...one last family picture!!  

Then he's off!!

Getting All Ready!!

The suitcases are all layed out....

The piles are beginning to form...

The labeling of all items is starting...

(These are the surprises I did on his towels for him!!)

The packing begins!!  Will it all fit?
