Mom and Dad are officially at the MTC. We are so lucky - we got to spend time with them before they left. A friend of Mom's threw an open house for her on Saturday, August 18th so even though it was mostly for her girlfriends, Alex wanted to go with me! So he and I went to the brunch / open house! Luckily Dad came too and there was another friend of dad's there -so it wasn't totally awkward.
We also got to go with them on Sunday, August 19th to the Stake Presidents office to see them set apart. The spirit was amazing - the best part was hearing the Stake President set them apart as "Full Time Missionaries". It was such a great experience. Mom and Dad will be so good on a humanitarian mission. It will just be so natural for them! Now if Mom can just get past the "water and seafood" part of the Carribean - they'll be fine! Hopefully, Hurricane Dean will blow over by the time they get there.
I took my camera to the open house, but only snapped one photo of the "elders" below! :) Also - here is a photo of Mom and Dad for everyone to see! Brother and Sister Tanner of the West Indies - Guyana Mission! We love you Mom and Dad!
Lots of other good Missionary stuff happening at our house! Alex has had all of his Dr. and Dentist Appointments - we are just waiting to meet with the Oral Surgeon to get his wisdom teeth pulled, and then his papers will be submitted. We are guessing we'll have a mission call sometime in September. Derek entered the MTC last Wednesday - headed to North Carolina and - Dustin Hamren - another one of Al's good friends got called to Charleston, West Virginia.. Way to go Elder Hamren!

Oh, I am so glad you got to go the brunch and the setting apart, just sad we couldn't be there too! I agree they will be awesome missionaries.
