It's a big job getting a missionary ready to go. We had clothes to buy, places to go, doctors to see. We went to JC Penneys one day to get his shirts. As we were getting ready to check out and I had 10 white shirts tucked under my arm this couple approaches us, and says you must have a missionary going out. Now in Utah that is a given, but up here in Spokane that was really funny to hear since there aren't very many members up here.
Garrett found everything he needed, and had the money set aside for his needs. That in itself was blessing.
I really enjoyed being with Garrett to help him with finding everything, and really his leaving hadn't really sunk in until this day of being set apart. It affected us all because now we knew he would be leaving soon.
The blessing that Garrett received was so wonderful! The spirt was so strong, and our stake President, President Nichols is such a great man. After the blessing there were lots of tears especially from Gavin. Even though Gavin and Garrett argued constantly, he realized that he would miss Garrett terribly. Garrett was set apart almost 1 week early because we traveled to Boise to see his Grandparents and then on to Salt Lake City.
