Seminary Graduation

We are proud of Jena today as she graduated from seminary.  She and I have read all four books of the scriptures over the past 4 years.  It has been a sweet experience.  And she has loved all of her teachers and classes in seminary.  We have been so lucky in that regard.

We were so lucky when Jena went to Clearfield that Torrey Morrill was the principal of the seminary there.  They are in our stake and had been in our ward briefly so he knew Jena and he made sure that things went great for her.  We are so grateful to him and all of the teachers at seminary.

Jena taught Bro. Morrill a secret handshake one day
and he says since then this is always how they
greeted each other.

Some of Jena's dearest friends graduated from seminary with Jena and we got a couple of pictures for memories for her. The kids in our stake and ward have been great examples to Jena and have taught her so much about living.  I know that she has also had an impact on their lives as well.

Jena and Kate
Kate's birthday is two days after Jena's in September
She is submitting her mission papers this week.

Today was Kalie Watson's "farewell".  She leaves for the MTC on Wednesday for her mission to Anaheim CA Spanish-speaking.  We are so excited for her, but Jena is really going to miss her.  They have been friends for a long time. (We forgot to take a picture when we went after Church to enjoy some great food with her family so we stopped after seminary graduation and got her in her sweat pants.

One graduation down.....Another graduation to come!
