Setting Apart

When Bradley was set apart it was a very spiritual experience for everyone. I have never heard a more powerful blessing. We came home and everyone told what they remembered about the blessing and we wrote it down so he could take it with him, it was awsome! We took a couple of family pictures afterward. Then we all slept on the living room floor together as a family because he had to report to the MTC the next day.

Farewell

May 16th 2010

Bradley's farewell talk was really good! He did such a great job, The spirit was really strong. Brian and Brandon also spoke in Sacrement as youth speakers, I was so proud of my boys that day! We had a nice luncheon after church and he had alot of friends and ward members come to wish him well. I would like to thank everyone for their suport and Love!

Temple

March 6, 2010

It was really neat to be in the Temple with Bradley. We want to thank all of our Dear Friends and Family who were there to support him. We had a nice luncheon after.

Missionary Mall

We went to the missionary mall to pick up Bradley's Suit, pants and shoes that we had ordered. He was highly annoyed by me for bringing the camera along. (some day he will be greatful for all of the pictures I take) While we were there I heard the salesman talking to a Mother and her son about Brazil, So I asked if he was going to Brazil on his mission and he said yes, I said so is my son and so the mother asked Bradley where he was going and he told her Maceio and she got so excited and said that's where her son is going, So I asked when he leaves and he is going to be flying to Brazil on the same flight as Bradley! I think me and the mother were more excited about it than the boys. I think it was pretty awsome to meet someone that he will be going to the MTC with. I wish I would have taken a picture of them together, but Bradley probably would have died if I'd asked.

Opening Mission Call Feb. 3, 2010

The mission call came in the mail on Wed. Feb 3rd. Bradley got the mail at 1:00 in the afternoon and had to wait until 8:30 to open it because Mom had young women's and Brian had training for his job. Bradley was so nervous and excited! It was pretty neat watching him read it, He was very emotional and the spirit was very strong.

 
 Brazil, Maceio Mission! I think we were all shocked and excited! Going to the MTC in Sau Paulo, Brazil, We weren't expecting that!!
 

Lots of family and friends here to share the excitment !

Bradley had some very anxious grandparents waiting by the phone for him to call and give them the news.

The Priesthood

Bradley got ordained to an Elder in the Melchizedek Priesthood on Sunday June 7th. We are so proud of the choices he has made. He had alot of Family and friends there to support him. It was a very special day for our family.
