Seminary Graduation

We couldn't be more proud of Graham and his accomplishments thus far. Graham has exceeded our expectations in more than one area of his life. We are particularly proud of his seminary graduation. For the first little while, we (mostly Dad) drove Graham to early morning seminary. Then when Graham turned 15 he got his permit and scootered his way to seminary every morning then on to school. (Many days in the cold.) When he turned 16 and received his car, he continued to get himself to seminary. I don't remember one word of murmuring, even on the many occasions when his lazy folks remained snoozing during the early hours. Heck yes it was hard for him some mornings, but it was such a testimony builder. Graham was mature enough to recognize all of the reasons for going and knew that it was building him into a strong, spiritual leader.

This was a great ceremony and I think (hope) he was pleased with himself. He looked happy and relieved all at the same time. We post these pictures knowing he is a great example to his younger siblings who will soon follow suit. Congrats Graham!

Tears and more tears. Good job Dad and Mom for raising such a great kid!
