We went down to the bay again for Tom's farewell and setting apart as an Elder. He was called on a mission to Montevideo, Uruguay. Montevideo is the capital and largest city in Uruguay, in the southern part of the country on the Rio de la Plata estuary. Tom gave a fabulous talk in church which was very tender to our hearts. It's crazy how Tom has grown to be a young man and is off to a whole new country for a whole new experience...and a whole new language. His many years of German in high school will do no good there!!!
After church we came back to the house for a big dinner with our closest friends and family.
Later that evening Tom was set apart and there was some wonderful words said.
We took pictures and then it was time to say our goodbyes.
Though we will miss him for two years we know Tom will be a great missionary to the people in Uruguay. We look forward to letters home and hearing all about it!!!

All he talked about at the end of some of thise days was how great Tommy was and how fun it was going on a bike ride with him and watching him play video games. How time flies!I love the picture of him and the babies!
