Taya's Missionary Farewell

Taya's farewell fell in between performances of Canyon's play.  It was a CRAZY week.  But it all turned out beautifully.  We had the married kids all come over on Saturday night (after 2 play performances) & sleep over so we could all be there bright & early together on Sunday morning.

We woke up early & practiced the FSY Medley song we planned to sing.  We invited all of Taya's friends to come up & sing with us & we were hoping we'd get a good number of singers up there.  But we practiced just as a family too to make sure we could carry the song on our own if we needed to.

Her farewell was beautiful.  She gave a beautiful talk & we had TONS of her friends come up & sing with us.  It was one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard in my life.  I was bawling as I played the piano for it.  I'm so happy with how it all turned out.

After church we had everyone come to our house for desserts & visiting.

It was a wonderful day full of family & friends.  After everyone left, we had a fun little family smore campfire & enjoyed our time together as a family.  I cherish these moments we are together.

Congratulations Taya, you're going to be a great missionary.
