Sofia and her baby Brookie went shopping with Grandma Rosie and Max to get him ready for his mission.  It was a busy day for Grandma Tricia:)

Rosie was Elder Bass's companion for the week.  Look at their faces.  I wonder if they were getting sick of one another?  hmmm....

Max was so excited and so ready to serve the Lord.

We called our friends the Adams to join us for a going away Family Night.

Look at our faces...

we each took a turn pulling faces and we didn't even know it...

Love these two so very much!

Wonder why this guy is smiling??? Well I will tell...

He ripped a smelly one...

So on a serious "note" Max played our opening song, "Called to serve Him".

I will miss Max playing the piano.  He is so talented!

We all sang and then had a lesson on missionary work.  

It was so neat to have a missionary in our home and it was felt. 

He is ready and people are waiting for him.   

I made this little treat and reminded the kids to open their mouths and let others know that Jesus Christ lives, that families can be together forever and that as you serve others you will always have a smile on your face.  

As you can see we had so much fun with these.  

To make them it is... Apple slices, peanut butter or Nutella and marshmallows.

Rosie had her tissues out and ready.  

We left this morning to take Elder Bass and drop him off

 to the Missionary Training Center. You pull up and drop him off at curb side and these Elders were right there to greet him and help him with his luggage. Then off he goes.

Go forward with Faith Elder Bass!!!

So Sweet to see the love this boy has for his Momma.  

His little chin just quivered as he said good bye to her.  

She has taught him well and now he is off to the best two years of his life!!!
