Drew's last week at home has been very busy saying goodbye to friends and family. He has been doing the last of his packing and paperwork.
His things were laid out on the air hockey table to pack.
On Tuesday Jeff and Drew went to the Los Angeles Temple. Drew got to see the sealing room where Jeff and I were married.
Wednesday night we had dinner with Grams Allred for the last time at Five Crowns Restaurant.
There is an old English phone booth in front of the restaurant.
Our whole family was there except for Holly and Noel. They were at girl's camp.
This is one of Drew's favorite restaurants. It is one of ours too. We ate here with Jeff's and my parents the night before our wedding.
Luke was entertained by Drago and the iphone!
Drew and grams said their last goodbye for two years.
Last night, Thursday, was Drew's last dinner at home. He requested Tara's Chicken Enchiladas and La Fonda Salad, a family favorite!
Later that evening, Drew was set apart as a missionary of the Puerto Rico San Juan West Mission by his Stake President Brennan. His Bishop Barnes and his dad stood in the circle. We all bore our testimonies before it took place. Tears were shed and hugs were given. Now, this morning we are off to Utah!

What a wonderful/sad/exciting/nerve-racking week!!! It's pretty amazing that almost everything he'll be living off of for 2 years can fit on an air hockey table! HA!
I can't imagine how sad it must be to say goodbye to your FIRSTBORN!! But how thrilled you must be at the same time, to know that he is doing exactly what the Lord wants him to do.
GOOD LUCK, DREW!
(P.S.- SHARP suit!!! I can't decide if you look like a missionary or like a CEO! J/k- Missionary all the way. We love you!) :-)
P.S.- Be sure to post Drew's address so we can write to him!
Such exciting times! Must have been a very touching week doing everything for the 'last time' with you guys for two years.
That's exciting for Drew. He will have an awesome time. Have him look up the Jimenez family down there. They were my mission president in Guatemala.
