Farewell

We all love the events that bring people together. Farewells are one of those occasions. Family comes from out of town, friend you have not talk to in awhile come to celebrate and you all eat more food than your stomaches can handle. Ty's farewell was just this... wonderful.

Our Uncle Ken started a tradition some time ago where when a missionary leaves to go on a mission, Uncle Ken would give them his tie. His tie represented his testimony and he wanted the missionary to go and share it with the world. This tradition has kept going and when Ken passed away, he gave all of us his ties. This has been a tradition that we all as Brady's keep close to our hearts and love.

Usually after the missionaries farewell talk all of the "Brady boys" will take off their tie and drape it around the missionaries neck to take with him. Well, one of Ty's good friends Brandon Shipman was having his farewell the same day as Tyler. He left right after he gave his farewell talk to run over to listen to Brandon speak. While at our house, the Brady boys began hanging thier ties in the tree for Ty to have. It was pretty neat. Tyler came home to a tree full of testimony ties.

As a result we end up having a lot of guys white white shirts on (except Drew) and no ties. Such a awesome experience and a wonderful tradition.

We are so grateful for this gospel in our lives and the opportunity we have to share part of our family with the world to make it a better place. We are grateful for all of you that gave your "testimony" to Ty to go and share. We appreciate your love, support and especially your testimony.
