Officially has been the first week at the CCM! So far I have gone through a whirl of emotions. A lot has already happened this week and so this email might be a little long. Tuesday: I said goodbye to all of my family which was pretty hard but i held up and didn't cry. Seeing my family cry was pretty hard though.

Farewell Talk in Church and Setting Apart - July 16, 2023

September 01, 2023

The time has come very quickly, but he is ready! For those who would like to join us Gharrett will be giving his farewell talk Sunday at 8:30am at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - 5485 Hopalong Trail, Colorado Spgs. Gharrett gave a great talk! It ended up being a Lawrence Sacrament meeting. It was the High Council day to give talks so both his Dad and Uncle Bryant gave talks after him. He was set apart as a Full time missionary that evening at the Stake Center in Falcon by President Carol.
