Family Time

Elder Martin chose to spend the last day with his family at one of his favorite spots, Mesa Falls.  It was a fun-filled day spent last minute shopping at Walmart, eating Sizzler for lunch, feeding the fish at Warm River, viewing Upper and Lower Mesa Falls, and laughing until our stomachs hurt

 Typical Martin family picture.  What a bunch of goofs!

 No questioning paternity on this kid!  His Dad is so proud of him!

 Upper Mesa Falls

 What a good-lookin' young man.  He did a lot of pondering that day while enjoying the absolute beauty of Idaho.

 He kept saying, "Man, I'm going to miss this!"

 I think by this point he was already sick of having his picture taken.

 Guess who's going to miss these moments...

 Feeding the fish by hand.  They would come right up and eat the bread out of his hand.  It was hilarious because he would jump every time!

Trying his hand at illegal fishing.  He almost caught a few this way!

We had a great day as a family and treasured every moment!  That evening we watched "The RM" and had a special Family Home Evening.  After family prayer we all had a "cry-fest" as we knew we were in the final hours of being together as a family for two years.  The Spirit was so strong in our home.  We were comforted in knowing Tyler was doing the right thing by dedicating himself to the Lord for two years.  The experiences we had that night as a family will forever be held in our hearts.
