Adíos Familia y Amigos!

The family and a few friends said goodbye to Elder Yeoman at the Greensboro Aiport today! It was a difficult day for us all.... especially for this Mama! I am very grateful that Richard could travel to Utah with Jace and take him to the MTC in a couple of days. It was definitely easier for me to send him away with Richard by his side, than all by himself. 

We all should have known that Jace would plan something for the airport that would help us laugh and ease our tears for a moment. As he was about to walk through security, he turned and asked Richard to help him take off his suit jacket. I couldn't understand why he would want to take off his jacket and have one more thing to keep track of as he made his way through the security line. When he turned around, we all saw that he had taped strips of paper to his back that read #CAN'T GUARD ELDER YEOMAN. That was his slogan all throughout high school. He even had a vinyl sticker printed with the slogan for the back of his car window.  It definitely made us laugh during one of the hardest moments of my life! Elder Yeoman was so ready to go and excited for what lies ahead.  I am so grateful for this son of mine and can't wait to see the great things that he does in the next two years!
