Utah - Our Last Few Hours

Fathers have the unique opportunity to bless their sons

by bestowing a father's blessing when needed

as well as on special occasions, like sending off their son

to serve as a full-time missionary for 

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

This mom adores her boy!

The Greatest Family Ever!

Two thumbs up to Jake's soon-to-be home...the MTC!

Utah - The Beginning of Jake's Final Destination

The beginning of Jake's mission just had to include a gathering of

the Sudweeks Family.  Jake will be serving within 30 miles

of every member of his mom's family!

Such a temptation for everyone!!

Alexis is happily sandwiched between the two most handsome

men in her life, her big brother and her dad.

 

Crazy family pics...the Payne kids win!

It's Official - Elder Bramwell

Sunday, June 2 was a very busy day filled with a lot of emotions.

We tried to capture every minute of those emotions.

A few of the significant men in Jake's life (I mean Elder Bramwell's life).

This picture was taken just following 

Jake being officially set apart as a full-time missionary.

And here are some of the significant women in Elder Bramwell's life.

He is truly loved by his sisters and his mom!  Just look

at those tear stained faces.
