When Ryan left he still had a few things to take care of. He had wrecked his car around Christmas time and selling it was on the to do list.

The day that Ryan went into the MTC my dad had it for sell on the road. I just had to snap a picture of it because it was hilarious. I wish I would have taken one in the day time but it was sold early the next day to one of Ryan's cousins.

Arrival at the MTC

Ryan went into the MTC this week. It was a happy time! It's good to know he is in the right place = )

Endowments and Dinner

Here are some pics from Ryan's mom's camera. She was really good and made sure that Ryan's Endowment was documented. Good thing since no one else did right!

Grandma Myrleen, Grandma Joan, Grandpa Jay, Russ (Dad), Cheryl (Mom), Raschel, Christy, Jordan, and Keaka all attended. All others had very good reasons not to come but they really wanted to be there!

Ryan was told that he needed to wear white shoes to the temple..... he just wasn't told that you take them off before you leave. Oh well... you learn new thing every day right.

Dad paid for everyone to have lunch at Chuck a Rama after the temple. He really is such a nice guy!

Pics from Mom's camera... once again she saves the day!

The Farewell

The Call

Ryan's call finally came. When it arrived the post date on call showed that it had been in the mail for more than two weeks! You can imagine the anticipation!

Keaka playing the drum roll as Ryan opens his call..... the air it thick with anticipation.

San Antonio Texas- Spanish speaking! Yeah everyone in our Mexico going family was certainly happy of that. He will be very useful Spanish speaker in two years.

Everyone gathered around to view the ins and outs of the mission call.

Guest had been waiting an hour for Ryan to get off of work. All were certainly eager to here the call. Ryan seemed to be the calmest one there it was the rest of us who were making a fuss!
