He's Leaving Tomorrow

It's official! Tonight, Elder Michael Riding was set apart as a full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is going to the Tuxtla Gutierrez Mexico Mission and enters the MTC on August 6th. He'll be there for about two months, learning Spanish and preparing to preach the Gospel, until his scheduled departure for Mexico on October 5th. He's leaving for Utah tomorrow morning and driving up with Mom, Dad and Ashley. They plan to go to the temple in Salt Lake City and Bountiful before dropping him off in Provo and saying goodbye for two years. We're all very excited for him and for the opportunity to share in the experiences he will have. As his older brother, I plan to update this blog for him, posting stories, pictures, and address changes, etc. So check back here for updates or subscribe to this blog using the RSS link on the right-hand side of the page.
