Nate's Farewell

What a Jumbled Jubilee of emotions. We so enjoyed visiting with so many friends and family at a brunch before church as we celebrated Nate leaving on a Mission. He gave a inspiring talk in Church.

Nate with Nichole and Erik


Nate with Gracie and Isaac. They don't really understand how long Nate is gone. They have been told he will be home when they are 7 1/2 years old. When they see someone running on the street they still ask if it is Nate? They both miss and adore their biggest brother.
Funny story: The other day in the car Isaac and Gracie were having a discussion about the question, "Are their people bigger than houses." (Remember they are 5!) Isaac said, "No, there aren't people bigger than houses." Gracie, always one to "know better than Isaac" said very confidently, "Yes, Jesus is bigger than a house and so is Nate!" And interestingly Isaac had to agree! Funny kids!

Dad, Mom, and our Elder Nate!
