Missionary Farewell - Open House

When guests arrived, they filled out "Words of Wisdom" for Brandon. These will go with Brandon in a binder with guest's picture, to take with him to Peru. The notes everyone wrote were priceless!

Double sided frames were spread through the home. Filled with pictures of Brandon at the temple, his baptism day, receiving the priesthood, and one at the Provo MTC the day we took his Uncle Ben to the MTC.  His Uncle Ben served his 2 year LDS mission in Lima, Peru South also!

 Catching Brandon sneaking a treat before the guests arrive :)

We used the colors of the Peru flag and made several of Brandon's favorite baked goods since he knew he'd go 2 years without any.
