Erika's First Date

Last weekend Erika went out on her very first date with her friend Mike. We tried to change the legal dating age to 18, but she wouldn't go for that. It's hard to believe that she is 16 now and will soon have her Driver's License too. Wow, our little girl is growing up way too fast!

She is taking Mike to the Halloween dance on Saturday night with a fun group of kids. Only big group dating for our little girl - hopefully until she is at least 21!!!

Bryan enters the MTC!!!

We took Bryan to the MTC last Wednesday, October 15th. It was difficult to say goodbye for 2 years, but we all know that he is where the Lord wants him to be. The spirit in the MTC was so strong, and all of the people there were so helpful and wonderful.

Bryan has sent us 2 letters so far, and they both have been filled with so much enthusiasm and love for Missionary work. His testimony has grown so much already, and he has an awesome companion. He hasn't had time to feel too homesick, and is loving every minute of his MTC experience.

We are adjusting to life at home without his lively, crazy sense of humor, and are so grateful for his willingness to serve our Heavenly Father!

Elder Wilson heading to West Virginia

Bryan turns 19 and is getting ready to enter the MTC on October 15th!

His farewell is October 12th at 10:20 am.

He is excited to serve in the West Virginia, Charleston Mission.
