Brother Tyson Christensen was a missionary who was released 2 weeks ago and returned with his parents and his twin brother who served in New Hampshire and they both were released on the same day.  Tyson was the missionary who trained Sister Yost a year ago.  The tradition is when you train someone the elders give them a tie which he gave Sister Yost.  She in turn gave me the tie since she trained me.  All of our names are on the tie at this point.  Everyone else is the office staff.

 The tie ceremony with Sister Yost and I where it is now mine to give to whoever I train in the future.

Most Wednesday evenings we spend at the Hill Cumorah Visitor Center with all the site missionaries for a Devotional.  Our family should remember this statue of Christ.  A senior missionary, Elder Hales is a photography and he took our picture and shared with us how at night time you can sit on the benches in this room and at the perfect angle have the Savior reflect off all the windows.  The Saviors arms are stretched out encircling you.  What a feeling came into the room when we saw the next picture.
