Bryan's Mission Farewell

What a great day!!! Bryan had his mission farewell on August 28 and then went into the MTC (or empty sea, as lucy calls it) on August 31st. He spoke on Gratitude and gave a wonderful talk with my dad who just happened to be the High Council man that day. My dad gave his talk on Hope and I was very impressed with both of them. Bryan, Jen and Aubrie did a musical number that was amazing. The whole day just seemed to come together so smoothly. The dinner was awesome, lots of friends and family were able to come, the weather was good, and the spirit was so strong. We're really proud of Bryan and the good choices he has made in his life. We know the people in North Carolina will love him and we are excited to hear of his many adventures and wish him luck spreading the gospel.
Melissa took some family pictures of us in the back yard. I think this is the only one that had everyone looking at the same time. Thanks Lis, they look great!

Bryan might have been leaving, but he wasn't gone yet. He knew just which table to sit at. GO BRY!!!

Luke enjoying the good food. Mom always knows how to put on a great party.

All the little ones serenading us. (Makenna, Braydi and Mason with Cody on the table) It was Beautiful!!!

Brett pretty much disappeared with the little Styler girls (Merry and Ruthie)he was teaching a young women's lesson and was having a great time.
