elder t

special day today.  thomas was set apart as a missionary for the church of jesus christ of latter day saints.  president taylor, bishop tueller, johnny and three of his sons, and the johnsons joined us for the setting apart.  for the parrys it was kind of a dry run.  now we kind of know what to expect emotionally in a few short months when evan leaves.  it's not good.  president taylor called on several people to say a few words about thomas.  it was very tender and many great things were said.  the spirit was very strong.  i'm grateful for the opportunity to have had thomas here for a few short years.  he has made a difference in our lives and he will be a great missionary in tallahassee, florida.  we will miss him.
