As is tradition, Nate spoke in church about a week before he left for the MTC. He and Jared Bell shared the time. They have been friends since before they were born, and it was wonderful to see them both reaching this mile-stone together. Almost miraculously, things have worked out that they will be reporting to the MTC on the same day, November 6th, and will be on the same flight to Salt Lake City, sitting next to each other! I know this has helped calm some of Nathan's nervousness about leaving.
After church, we had lunch with the extended family, a Mexican fiesta in honor of Nate's destination. I tried to get pictures of everyone, but didn't quite accomplish my goal...
Nate and "Uncle" Jonathan (really they're cousins once removed, or something like that...)
Troianna, Kaelyn and Alexis (who would be Nate's second cousins, I think...)
Uncle Jeff (who is really an Uncle!)
Grandma Vikki and Kjersty (also a cousin, once removed)
Sisters, and Jonah! (cousin)
Brad and Aunt Ashley (a real aunt!)
