After we landed we changed quickly and met President Martin at the stake center for Caleb's setting apart. Caleb was set apart as a missionary to serve in the Rome, Italy mission and also received a beautiful blessing from the stake president. He was blessed with health and strength, and protection. He was blessed with knowledge of and comfort from the Holy Ghost, the third member of the Godhead. He was blessed with being a peacemaker and the ability to be unified with his companions. He was blessed to love his mission president and with obedience to do all that he asked. He was blessed that his mind would be open and he would learn much. He was blessed to love the Italian people and blessed to be a disciple of Christ. It was a very sweet experience.
Afterwards, we went to dinner and then home to do one last load of laundry, last minute packing, and saying goodbye to his close friends, Alex and Nick Curtis and Brooklyn Edwards.
This morning we left for the airport early, just after 5 am. We got him checked in, had a quick breakfast and then said our goodbyes. It was so sweet and Caleb was beaming, smiling big as he waved goodbye. We are so incredibly proud of the valiant missionary he is and know that he will do great things for the Lord.
Caleb will be a great missionary! We love him and feel it such a privilege to be his parents. May the Lord bless him as he enters the MTC today!!
