Elder Clay Larson is LEAVING!!!

This IS a day to remember!
Clay received his mission call to Mexico Torreon Mission and will be leaving on October 8th! It is prefect timing for us. Van has a mission reunion on October 3rd up in Utah and we have decided to take Clay to General Conference on October 4th and 5th. We have never been to general conference so we are very excited. Then 3 days after that he will enter the MTC. His mission is in the middle of Mexico. It is quite a large area he will be serving in. He will be learning spanish and will get to speak spanish to his dad and brother. We are so proud of his decision to serve!! We will have 3 Larson boys out on missions. DJ is in Spain, Braydon in South Africa and Clay Mexico. We will be having a little bit of Heaven on Earth when we all go to the temple on August 9th. All 6 children and their spouses will be there with Van and I. What a awesome experience that will be. We will also get our family picture done on that day because Sarah and Mark will be there from El Paso. It is also Tama Lama Ding Dong's (Tamra) birthday. I feel so blessed!

This picture is when Clay was getting ready to open his mission call and his dad said "son before you open that just know that there are hundreds of missionaries all over the world opening their mission calls but...this is YOUR mission call. It is meant just for you. These next two years will change your life forever." and this picture is Clay listening to his dad!

Hello! I am Wendy's aunt. I am up way too late blog surfing and saw your blog on theirs.

I have enjoyed having Clay in our home several times.

I am excited for him to go on a mission! He is a great guy!

Aunt Rhonda,

If you have time while you are here in Utah, give me a call and maybe we can meet up for dessert or something! I would love to see you! Get my number from my mom.

Love,
