Well today was the big day. Here is his plane at gate 17. I learned the trick of going to the top level of the parking lot and finding the gate that they are leaving from when Christopher left. So we did it again and everyone waved.
The last little picture of our wonderful boy, he is sending his love via sign language....
Right before he went through security. It was a wonderful experience seeing all those boys leaving to go and serve the Lord. They were all so excited.
Here he is with his friends Connor, David, and Tyler. David will leave March 2nd for Brazil, and Tyler leaves at the end of April for Mexico. I love these boys....
Cody, Stephanie, and Lexee giving great hugs.
These babies will be sooooo big when he gets back.
Just passing the time, great guys for sure.
We stopped by Grandma and Grandpa Welker's on the way to the airport to get good hugs.
We also stopped by the ward building because the Bishop told him his placque was up. Here it is!
The Hunt family will have 3 boys out on a mission together. Doug, their oldest is in Korea, and Jordan in the Dominican, and David in March to Brazil. He loves the Hunts for sure.
All packed and ready to go.
Bishop is always so supportive.

President Gulbrandsen gave Jordan such a beautiful blessing. He has been called to be a Mission President himself, so there were lots of tender missionary feelings. It was an amazing evening, filled with the spirit so strong. I love worthy Priesthood Leaders. He will be a wonderful Mission President. He even could end up being Jordan's!!! Would'nt that be crazy!!!
I am so proud of this boy. He is so great and fun. We will miss his spirit in our lives for sure, but are so grateful for his willingness to serve. He will be such a good missionary.
