Riley's Mission Farewell

This whole day seemed surreal.  I have been to many other farewells, but this one didn't seem real.  Obviously, this mission thing hasn't totally set in yet.  So many of our friends and family made the trip to support Riley.  He gave such an amazing farewell talk.  He was assigned the topic of testimony and true conversion.  He blew it out of the water.  The spirit was so strong while he was speaking.  I couldn't hardly believe that this was the same little boy that we have raised.  His testimony was so strong and there were many teary eyes in the congregation when he was done.  After sacrament we came back to our house to have brunch.  Our house was full of people who love Riley.  It was an awesome sight.

I wish I had more pictures to show everyone that was here.  It was crazy.  We had a steady stream of people coming in to give their best wishes to the future missionary.  It was a good day!
