Priesthood, Temple, and Farewell

Austin turned 18 on June 8th, 2013.  It was a very eventful day.  He received the Melchizedek priesthood that morning from his father, Bill (Edgar William) Whaley.  He then took out his temple endowments that afternoon.  It was a great session and several family and friends came to support him.  The next day, June 9th, Austin had his missionary farewell at 1:00p.m.  He was given the assignment to speak on "Personal Revelation".  He did an amazing job and many people commented on how mature in the gospel Austin was.  He sounded more like a return missionary than a newly called one.  After the farewell, we had a luncheon at the Sugar High School commons.  I had made over 20 dozen rolls and we had ham and toppings to make ham sandwiches.  People brought salads, chips, and desserts.  It was a great turn out and Austin had fun visiting with those who came.  We appreciated all the support!
