Fedex got the letter to Tyson, as promised,
bright and early the next morning!
After taking one of his finals, he opened it...
Oh, I'm joking!
He promised he
wouldn't open it until
we were all together on
Skype!
Luckily, he's honest.
Our little family of 4
gathered together
for a picture on this,
4th happiest day
of our lives!
Grandpa and Grandma Hutch
and
Grandpa and Grandma Johns
were there too!
Grandpa Hutch offered a prayer
and the thought of this little return address label
invited the spirit to also be in attendance.
And to no-one's surprise,
it was one of thee most spiritual moments
we've shared as a family.
Full of anticipation...
Full of excitement...
Full of surprise...
Full of peace.
I could tell you all about
or you could just see for yourself...
Ummmm... yeah.
So the boy who's face is on the video veto-ed the use of it.
I've gotta respect that.
However, I can share these...
Oh and don't think those were
tears of sadness.
OH NO!
They were tears of
PURE JOY
as Ty announced he was
going to...
The call to this city
has great significance
to him, as does his
departure date of June 1st
To be continued...

Boy, thiis is happening fast! That's the best way..............you're so busy you forget they're really leaving and you have to go that place in Provo to drop them off..................not my favorite place in the world,. When we took Randy I was overjoyed to realize that I won't have to go again until Canyon leaves!
Elizabeth Tripp:
I'm sad Ben and Tyson are speaking on the same day at the same time, just because they won't get to hear each other. Mostly I'm happy they are both going and they get to be in the MTC part of the same time.
