Alex's grandparents picked me up and took me to one last lunch with my friends at Cafe Rio before taking me to the MTC.
The Palazzos and Roellers graciously hosted us for dinner. The Palazzos' son, Joe, is serving a mission in the same place I'm going and the Roellers' son, Hunter just returned from El Salvador.
It was standing room only at my Open House. Friends, family and fellow members of the church came out to wish me well and express support. I am grateful for everyone, including the people that were unable to attend.
A beautiful day. A beautiful ceremony. A beautiful group of people attended to support Michael. He was prepared, ready and excited. Everything went smoothly. He loved it. Thanks to our wonderful Southlake Ward for showing up on a weekday morning. We just love this church and our ward family!
