Ivins Stake Center
Calli was set apart as a missionary and given a beautiful blessing by our stake president, President Kevin Smith. He mentioned that she would be blessed with the gift of tongues and be a leader and have the ability to do that which others can't.

After her setting apart we had her "Last Supper" ...Homemade, Cafe Rio Salads per her request...
and then close friends, family and ward members came by to say their goodbyes. One of her friends Tyler had served in Barcelona. He had them all sitting in a circle telling Calli everything she'd need to know
Calli, Christian and Graccie face-timing Emma.

That night after everyone left we did Father's Blessing for Calli and Sadie (Sadie had cheer camp the next day as well) Adam gave her a beautiful blessing with promises of protection, discernment, and teaching. He got chocked up a bit while giving her the blessing which turned into all of us hugging and crying. Sadie gave Calli a hug and said "I'm not ready to be the big sister yet" There were so many tender moments within those few minutes. Love my family. So grateful for the priesthood and the comfort it brings. After blessings we all made a huge bed on the floor and had a family slumber party. It was almost 2am by the time we got bedded down and we were getting up at 6:00 am so we all crashed pretty quickly.
